Description Martin Kho 2016-05-01 09:40:13 UTC

Description of problem:
When opening the first instance of e.g. Dolphin one can see a flickering (?) in the panel starting in the taskmanager going to other widgets (pager, systray, clock etc.) in the panel.This started when the first batch of 16.04 applications appeared.Btw. not all applications make the panel flicker, KMail e.g.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-desktop-5.6.2-2.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The easiest way to see the flickering is to enlarge the panel a little before opening Dolphin (via kickoff or Alt-f2)
2. Watch the panel
3.

Actual results:
flickering in panel (or are it just the widgets?)

Expected results:
no flickering

Do you happen to have libunity installed and chrome running?  (that's the case where I see it... most often)

Comment 2 Martin Kho 2016-05-01 12:57:18 UTC

hi,

No, I've not libunity and chrome installed.

Comment 3 Martin Kho 2016-05-25 08:12:11 UTC

Hi,

This issue seems to be introduced in KDE Applications 16.04. KMail ( 15.12.3 ) doesn't show the flickering. Gtk applications - e.g Firefox - also causes flickeing in the panel.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:39:12 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:23:23 UTC

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
