unknown32...@yahoo.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |unknown32...@yahoo.com --- Comment #29 from unknown32...@yahoo.com --- This bug has been hampering my productivity for a long time. It has been consistently repeatable for me under multiple versions of Mint KDE on multiple laptops and also in VirtualBox. I've watched this page with baited breath hoping for a real fix. I even tried the patch, but must have done something wrong because then it wouldn't save my configuration changes; I spent months reconfiguring Yakuake every time I had to reboot just because this small-seeming detail is such an obnoxiously distracting impediment to my workflow. Today it finally occurred to me to just mess with relevant-seeming settings, looking for a workaround. In the Yakuake configuration under Window, turning off "Ask the window manager to perform the animation" seemed to prevent the issue at first, but I could still trigger it occasionally if I spammed the toggle key as fast as I can (tensing my arm isometrically so it shakes at around 10 Hz). Note that I had the duration set to 100 or 150 at different times. Then I set the duration to 0, but that just makes KDE do a fade effect by default. So I also disabled Fade under Desktop Effects in KDE's System Settings, and I am now completely unable to trigger the bug. Maybe it fixes the shortcut problems too, I hadn't ever noticed that one so I couldn't say. I did observe in the course of this, that the bug appears to trigger more often if I toggle it again while the last animation is still occurring, and also if I release the alt key between each toggle (my shortcut is alt+grave). I wanted to disable the fade effect for the Yakuake window only, but didn't see an obvious way to do that through the GUI. I saw a way to disable all compositing for the Yakuake window under Window Rules in the Window Management settings, but transparency is also often important to my workflow. I also tried the various focus-giving/receiving/stealing options in the same area with no noticeable impact on the bug. I hope this helps devs narrow down the actual cause, and saves users like me from ending up in a psych ward until that happens. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
