Description of problem: Tooltip graphic/text is appearing behind the icons on lxpanel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxpanel-0.10.1-4.mga9.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Moused over one of the icons (HP), the tooltip text appeared, then what remained of it did not disappear, it corrupted and appeared behind other icons. One of the icons is the notifications icon. When I right-clicked that and cleared the notifications, the residual tooltip graphic/text then cleared up.

Thank you for the report. Although a slightly different manifestation, this seems related to bug 30574; I am tempted to change the desription of that one, and make this one a duplicate of it. What do you think, Edward?

This report is for a different issue. I was able to recreate it by mousing over the HP icon, then the Mageia updater icon displayed, which also removed the corrupted tooltip once the updater appeared. After looking at the attachments to Bug 30574, I can confirm the same tooltip placement behavior as the reporter. I will add a comment to that bug report.

Is only the taskbar icons background an issue, or is there visual corruption in any applications - Firefox for example?

Hi Ben, No other visual corruption in any other applications. The package x11-driver-video-qxl is installed.
I just changed the virtual GPU from qxl to virtio. The Xorg.0.log file shows it loaded in a driver 'fb' (framebuffer?) and the same corruption occurs in the panel. I do not know which x11-driver-video- package it is using with this, if any. 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Red Hat, Inc.

Thank you both for your helpful comments. Another one for NicolasS, I think. Cauldron LXDE is going through a bad patch.

Hi, I cannot reproduce that issue on my Cauldron VirtualBox VM so I think the problem does not come from lxpanel but from graphic drivers. Best regards,
Source RPM: lxpanel-0.10.1-4.mga9.src.rpm => x11-driver-video-qxl-0.1.5-19.mga9.src.rpm
I've changed the Source RPM to the X11 QXL driver.
I changed the graphics in the virtual machine from QXL to VGA and the image would not boot up at all. It went as far as the Mageia boot splash screen, then into a black screen with blinking cursor. Changing the graphics back to QXL resulted in it successfully booting again.
I just switched the Panel Preference / Appearance to 'System theme', which changes the panel background to white. The tooltip/graphic text properly disappears when the mouse is moved away from the icon. The residual graphics remain on the panel if the setting is either on 'Solid Color (with opacity)' or 'Image' (using background.png by default). I don't know if it's the graphics driver or lxpanel. lxpanel was upgraded to lxpanel-0.10.1-6.mga9.x86_64 yesterday.

Hi, lxpanel-0.10.1-9.mga9 solves the issue by automatically refreshing the system tray of lxpanel every ten seconds. Best regards, Nico.
Resolution: (none) => FIXEDStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
P.S. Is there another way out? This systray refresh causes a flicker (widely reported; I see it) which I can see giving rise to a bug about it.
CC: (none) => lewyssmith
Hi, I could not find another way to solve the issue but maybe refreshing every ten seconds is a bit too much. I can try refreshing only every 30 or 60 seconds, for instance (or I can remove my patch). Best regards, Nico.
