           Summary: Window title disappears / buttons flicker when mouse
                    moved into window title area
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dominik at wezel-mueggler.org


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

First of all, in earlier versions of KDE, I had an option to choose my window
decoration: there had been Plastik, Keramik and all the stuff—which I can find
no longer in the system settings; long ago I decided for an advanced decorator
with different look-and-feels (I can't remember how it was called), which seems
to be the (only) standard now.

Now when I move my mouse cursor onto the window title, it vanishes behind a
black block.  When moving the mouse out of the area, the title (usually, but
not always) reappears, sometimes it also changes (typically in konsole, where
it had not been up to date anyway, so in this case only the behaviour is
actually welcome).  When I move the mouse cursor on the minimize/maximize/close
buttons, they flicker madly and sometimes disappear for good.

This behaviour is very annoying and disconcerting, not least because I cannot
understand why something should be done actively in the title bar when I move
the mouse cursor onto it.  I only expect any action when clicking (the buttons)
or double-clicking (the title area).  OK, I admit glowing buttons on
mouse-hover is a cool thing to have, but it's really an extra, and I'd rather
go for a stable window title.

I would have posted this as being of "Minor" severity, but the dropdown box
entry for "Minor: it's a bug a trivial bug to find and fix" does not make
sense, and I cannot decide whether the bug is trivial to fix (it was trivial to
find for me though, but I'm sure that's not what the text means).

A proposal for a more appealing text for Severity "Minor" would be: "Minor: a
bug I can live with or work around for the moment.", or: "Minor: a bug that
does not need immediate fixing." --- something in this direction.
