Panel transparency does not work

[Felix Möller]

The transparency setting does not work.

With 100% it is fully transparent. However, with 99% transparency it is black. See attached screenshot.

Thank you for submitting this bug report. However I am unable to reproduce this bug on my system. Can you provide more information about your system by pressing Alt+F2 and then tying "apport-collect 974658" without quotes? It might give more insight on why you face this bug.

I get a popup saying "no further information collected". What information would you like to have?

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Basically I would like apport to provide info about the version of unity, compiz that you are using and other packages installed on your system. Also "apport-collect 974658" command was supposed to collect this info and automatically append this bug report with that info. However it doesnt seem to work as expected. I'll check with other developers and let you know. Worse case scenario, you can execute the command "ubuntu-bug unity" which will create a new bug report and append all info automatically. But I'll let you know soon.

Thanks for the info. We now wait for someone else to confirm it.

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Ignore my previous comment. 2 other people have this issue as well. hence marked confirmed.

[Felix Möller (felix-derklecks)]

My issue is fixed with an update of the last week (including precise-proposed). Not sure if the dupe is really a dupe.
