[Bug 1022109] Re: Firefox address bar graphic glitch on KDE

[Marcus Aurelius]

** Description changed:

- When running Firefox (13.0.1, earlier versions behaved the same) on KDE
- (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + kubuntu-desktop 4.8.2 recently updated to 4.8.4)
+ When running Firefox (13.0.1, earlier versions behaved the same way) on
+ KDE (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + kubuntu-desktop 4.8.2 recently updated to 4.8.4)
  sometimes when the autocomplete list drops down from the address bar, it
  comes with some "blocks" missing. Hovering with the mouse or typing more
  letters forces a redraw that corrects the issue temporarily.
  
  This only occurs on KDE, and it never occurs on Xfce or Unity with the
  same Firefox user profile. I noticed that disabling the "Fade" effect
  (from the "All effects" list in KDE's control panel) triggers this bug
  in many KDE menus (when Fade is on, everything is OK except for Firefox
  autocomplete).
