[Fwd: [Bug 322385] [NEW] solid blue rectangle(sbr) covering some icons in task bar]

[Brian Norman Wootton]

I've just opened a launchpad bug with the symptoms described below, I 
don't know if any other of
us have had anything similar happen to them. using 'forward' here, I 
have 'kmix' completely covered
with a 'sbr' and I have to run the cursor over the time/date icon to 
make it show up.

Public bug reported:

The task bar is absolutely correct until I attempt to use mail, and only if I use new/write, reply, reply all, or forward do
I get the following symptoms.

While I am creating the body of the mail message, some or all of the icons are covered with solid blue rectangles,
each will clear momentarily when I run the cursor over it. The sbr does not interfere with the functionality of the
icon, I just have to remember where the icon I want is hidden. The worst task bar mess happens when I'm
replying to kubuntu-users-request!
When I hit send, the task bar sbrs settle down a bit and only blank out one or two icons, usually kmix and eth0

There are no sbr problems at the moment because I haven't sent any mail since I booted up.
I thought it might be Thunderbird causing the problem, so I set up KMail and used that, no difference, still the
same symptoms. So I thought the problem might be with the SMTP. But I got a similar problem when I logged
into my ISP account and sent mail from there.
This is as far as I've got, hope you can help.

I'm running kubuntu intrepid 8.10 with KDE 4.1.3 on a 64bit AMD Sempron
