Public bug reported: The task bar is absolutely correct until I attempt to use mail, and only if I use new/write, reply, reply all, or forward do I get the following symptoms.
While I am creating the body of the mail message, some or all of the icons are covered with solid blue rectangles, each will clear momentarily when I run the cursor over it. The sbr does not interfere with the functionality of the icon, I just have to remember where the icon I want is hidden. The worst task bar mess happens when I'm replying to kubuntu-users-request! When I hit send, the task bar sbrs settle down a bit and only blank out one or two icons, usually kmix and eth0 There are no sbr problems at the moment because I haven't sent any mail since I booted up. I thought it might be Thunderbird causing the problem, so I set up KMail and used that, no difference, still the same symptoms. So I thought the problem might be with the SMTP. But I got a similar problem when I logged into my ISP account and sent mail from there. This is as far as I've got, hope you can help. I'm running kubuntu intrepid 8.10 with KDE 4.1.3 on a 64bit AMD Sempron ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- solid blue rectangle(sbr) covering some icons in task bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
