Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've observed that when some popups and most notably the kickoff menu<br>
appear on screen it does try to slide in. The problem is that it looks<br>
like a landslide, the background under the menu also slides and makes<br>
a very distracting effect. It is also very non-smooth.<br>
<br>
Does anybody know whether there is a bug report about it, or any more<br>
information so that I can try to fix it? (I don't want to start from<br>
scratch.) Could it be a graphics driver bug? What I don't really<br>
understand that how can desktop effect be much slower with KDE than<br>
with gnome on the exact same hardware? Can somebody point me to the<br>
right direction to figure this out?<br>
<br>
Hardware is radeon rv730 (HD4670) on F13 fully updated using the mesa<br>
7.8 drivers.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Robert<br></blockquote><div><br>I've been noticing this on a few different PC's too. On my own PC I turned the effect off by System Settings -> Desktop -> All Effects -> Turn off "Sliding popups" and stopped bothering about it not working properly (haven't got around on reporting it either).<br>
<br>I have seen this at least in F12 (<span class="intro">nVidia 9800 GT and a FX 5200 / </span>proprietary nvidia drivers), F13 (<span class="intro">nVidia 9800 GT / </span>proprietary drivers), F12 with some sort of onboard ATI card and the Mesa experimental drivers.<br>
