Hi,
I've been using this plasmoid to display cpu, ram and swap usage for
years on bookworm (version 2.7 by Barry Strong) and it's been rock
solid. In 2 systems that I've upgraded to trixie (version 2.8) - a
laptop and an i7 desktop (plasma 6/X11), hovering doesn't show the CPU,
Memory or Swap numbers in a pop up. Instead it displays
System Monitor Plasmoid
Shows system monitor information
At first, I thought: Oh well, design change, too bad, but then I noticed
that very rarely, when moving the mouse over the 3 bars the correct info
(like I was used to in 2.7) briefly pops up. It's very hard to hit the
right spot. It seems that it only happens when the mouse crosses the
boundary of the bars. Also, sometimes it pops up when I left-click, but
that is also rare.
I have found various bugs that describe artifacts but nothing that
matches the behaviur I've seen.
Has anyone seen this? Should I file a bug report, or just wait for this
to be fixed? Last time I filed a bug report on bugs.kde.org I was told
to complain to debian. The current version on kde.org is 2.9, so debian
stable is already a bit behind. What package should this bug be filed
against?
Thanks.
