            Bug ID: 351182
           Summary: when working with an secondary monitor connected to a
                    notebook the display of dialog boxes gets distorted
                    after some time
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.14.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: hallerharry77 at gmail.com

When working with an external (second) monitor connected to a notebook via a
docking station the display of dialog boxes in KDE applications like dolphin,
kontact, kdesu and others gets completely gabled and distorted. This only
occurs when an external monitor is connected using the notebook display alone
everything is fine. Neither, killing and restarting plasmashell nor restarting
the affected application cures the problem. The problem occurs with both render
engines (openGL and XRander).
It also makes no difference if the second monitor is used alone (notebook
display switched off using xrandr) or in combination with the notebook display
(both displays activated) to form a common desktop. The problem also shows up
when rebooting with the second monitor already connected at boot time. Actually
the dialog boxes functionality works: if suddenly selecting the correct option
in pull-down menus leads to the correct behavioral only the display is
distorted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect external, second monitor to system
2. activate second display or boot with second display connected
3. work for some time (some hours) and suddenly display of dialog boxes get
distorted

Actual Results:  
Completely distorted display of dialog-boxes that makes the system completely
unusable and needs KDE stop and restart to be cured.

Expected Results:  
Correct display.
