           Summary: "Display content in moving window" is incorrectly
                    labeled
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bkorb at gnu.org


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

If you read that and think think that only the window content ceases to be
displayed, you would be wrong.  Nothing at all is displayed.  So, unclicking
it means "move window blindly with only a fuzzy guess about where you might
happen to put it".  Not very useful.

I was having problems with random kde processes soaking up CPU cycles so
my window moves became so jerky that I could not place them within snap zones
of the screen edge.  So I thought I'd save some cycles by avoiding displaying
the content of the windows while being moved.  Imagine my surprise when
there was no moving outline or any other hint about where I was moving the
window.  Placing it where I wanted was somewhat difficult.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
* Turn off "display content in moving window"
* try to move a window within the snap zone of the screen edge.

Actual Results:  
The moving hand moves the window, but I cannot tell until I release.  Then I
have to keep adjusting it over and over until it is placed properly.

Expected Results:  
I'd see a window outline move around

When is somebody going to release a fix for the task bar that pops
up and will never go down again until I restart the desk top?
It is pretty old now and getting to me much more insistent about
staying up.  There's supposedly already a bug, so I didn't file
one, but I'd sure be glad when it gets fixed!!!
