solid blue rectangle(sbr) covering some icons in task bar

[Brian Wootton]

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

I'm moving this report to kdebase.

Could you please attach a screenshot showing the sbr as a separate attachment to this report?

Thank you.

Most KDE systray icon corruption should be fixed with Qt 4.5, which will be included in Kubuntu 9.04. (Including this type)
