kmag options "window","focus" and "screen" non functional

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Ubuntu Oneiric.

The only way I can get kmag to work is with option "Mouse" (note: that's working very well). Any other option is unusable:
- option "Screen" does nothing at all
- option "Focus" does *not* show the window having the focus. Only the magnified title bar is correctly updated, the rest of the magnified area shows the contents of always the same window, no matter which has focus.
- with option "Window" the window outlining the screen portion to magnify is *restricted to the magnifier window itself*. This is complete nonsense: I need to specify the area to magnify *outside* the magnifier window.

Bottom line:

kmag is unusable, unless you choose option "Mouse".

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!

Hello Harald,

did you realize that this bug report is two years old and reported against Oneiric, which reached end of life a year ago?
I'm afraid I did never use kmag again, because it simply was unusable. I do not know if the bug is still present in the current release. I could check, though, if it is of any use.

Regards,
Rüdiger
