           Summary: In browser flash apps leave a "ghost" image on the
                    screen
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.4
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dav1dblunk3tt at hotmail.com


Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

flash movies sometimes leave a "ghost" image on the screen that remains after
the flash has quit.  This interacts badly with the display - including the
flash playing on top of it.

It can be fixed by switching to a text console and back.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
View a flash movie - strange ghost image is left on screen, appears to XOR with
text and window components placed on top of it.  It is persistent even after
the flash has gone.

Actual Results:  
View a flash movie - strange ghost image is left on screen, appears to XOR with
text and window components placed on top of it.  It is persistent even after
the flash has gone.

Expected Results:  
No ghost image

It can't be captured using ksnapshot.

Possibly related to dual head nvidia graphics set up using nvidia driver but
definitely only KDE.

The dual head aspect gives odd results - mostly the ghost image is placed where
the flash was playing but sometimes it is on the other display.
