           Summary: Taskbar previews lock up the U/I during their display
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: delorean1 at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When placing the mouse over the taskbar at any given running application, the
preview is correctly displayed however you can not interact with the UI other
than moving the mouse until the preview fades out.

Should you have any interaction with the UI at this time, whichever mouse
buttons were clicked or keys pressed will be updated to the screen very
quickly.

for instance, within this textbox i can highlight my konsole on a mouseover and
continue typing. once it fades out, the text i type will immediately appear in
the textbox. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click in a textbox and give it the cursors focus.  mouseover an open app in
toolbar to get a preview of that window and then continue typing. 

Actual Results:  
 the typed text will only refresh to the screen after the preview has
disappeared.

Expected Results:  
continue refreshing the screen even when an app window preview is displayed

other refresh issues exist, such as web pages look like they are not loading in
firefox , and when going back and forth between tabs, or minimizing and
maximizing  they refresh.
