I been doing it that way for many years, even back in the KDE3 days. As pointed out by Neil, you have to put the mouse pointer in a different place now. Used to you could put it about anywhere but now it has to be on the left side of the pane where there is a empty space. That works fine and is workable but have to remember to do it that way now. Maybe the old behavior will be back with the next upgrade. Dale :-) :-)

I see, you mean text that was actually rendered and not part of an image. I noticed that those applications you mention are all GTK-based. Do you have any available that are built on Qt (or any other toolkit)? I can’t say that I have seen that youtube issue before. But I also have no idea what it could be or how to solve it. Could you create a new browser profile and check whether the issue is still present there? This could tell us whether it’s an issue with your existing profile. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

First of all, thank you for replying to my question. By "text mode" I mean that "it happened in Gvim, in a web-browser and in a dialog-window for saving files" but not in videos or pictures. > Which terminal are you using, and—most importantly—which font? I am using xfce-terminal, and it is using Monospace Regular font on 11 pt. In Gvim, I use the same Monospace Regular font on 10 pt. I do not know which font is in use by the window that helps me to save html files from the web-browser.

However, it is present there. > > See it where? A (small) screenshot may help. Unfortunately, I have not made a screenshot of this. So, I will try to explain: When I press Ctrl+s to save an html page from the google-chrome a dialog window is opened with the suggested name of the file that ends in "html." There is a dot before that "html" but sometimes it was not shown to me. The same was with the top parts of some cyrillic letters (to the point that it was hard to read). > Perhaps it is an overwide character, but the program that displays the text > wants to adhere to a regular character width. I’ve had this issue in the > past with Konsole. I do not think that it was connected with overwide characters because the effect appeared not with them or beside them. This problem with dots and top parts of letters *faded* after I updated the freetype package this Sunday. However, I cannot say that it stopped immediately after this update. It indeed *faded* during a few rebooting after that. > > Some letters can be shown without their top parts.

No, not only the gear symbol but some other ones as well, but not all of them. > Again, a nicely cropped screenshot may shed some light so we can better > understand it. I was able to reproduce it just now and made a few screenshots. I will add "a nicely cropped" ones as attachments to this email. It as also interesting that the symbol in the youtube player toolbar that was shown only partially changes to the full one when I move a mouse pointer over it. > > However, I do not see any distortion in playing videos. > > Did you set up a strange or very unusual DPI value for your font rendering? No, I have not played with this. And moreover, with the same settings, it was completely ok for years.

I asked this on the KDE User list eight days ago, but no reply. Systemsettings, Workspace, Shortcuts, Application Launcher Widget - set it to Meta-Space. You can't set it to just "Meta" but removing the Meta-Space setting for me stops just the Meta (Windows key) from launching the widget.

I asked this on the KDE User list eight days ago, but no reply. The thingy between "Ctrl" and "Alt", looks like the "Win 98" logo? "Task Manager" - the thing that has all of the programmes, "log out", "Shut down" etc? If you use the mouse off the task bar it's called the "Application launcher"? Still there for me. Display the task bar via moving the mouse to the appropriate posi, I have the task bar across the top of the screen so I move the mouse to the top and then the left hand corner where the little 9 dot icon is. Select that and the launcher drops down. Next to the Search box is the little two slider looking icon, "Configure Application Launcher". Select that then "Keyboard Shortcuts". Select the key you want. Although I've just noticed, that even though I changed this, to now be be "F12", which works, the Windows icon still works. Or are you referring to the thing accessed via "Ctrl" + "Esc""? Don't know about that one. Or maybe Ive still got it wrong... Andrew

You could try recovering from backup into a spare partition. When I'm moving things around in Dolphin I just drag them with a mouse. That sometimes needs another window open at the destination, but it works well enough for me. -- Regards, Peter.

At least you got me a way to make it work until they give it a proper fix. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-) Broken for me as well. I did a big update a few days ago and had noticed the same problem. I was about to post the same as Dales original post when Dales popped up. I agree with Neil, about being near a file and clicking on the LHS. If I remember correctly, and I'm quite prepared to be corrected here, in the earlier versions the "highlight bar" only covered the file/dir name, not right across the whole window, Size, Modified, Type etc. Now it does, from the vertical line that indicates the dir tree right across to the RHS of the window. It does not extend right to the edge of the LHS of the window from the vertical line and that's the part that Neil identified. I'm guessing that dolphin somehow uses the highlight colour, the "highlight bar", to indicate location within the window and in turn as to whether things can be pasted there or not. If I didn't have, literally, three solid days of 1st year engineering students submissions to mark, I would have a quick squizz at the dolphin code, but it's out of the question at the moment. There is nothing on the Gentoo bugs thingy regarding Dolphin. I think I'll be waiting until the next update Andrew
