At a closer look after all those updates, the issue seems to be reduced:
+ previously kmail was affected (view and composer), looks good now
+ konqueror:
* scrolling only broken an certain web pages
* some artifacts disappear after a short delay
- kate: forward scroll OK, backward scroll fails to repaint: areas remain white.
re konqueror: problems are reproducable mostly on pages that combine fixed
positions with scrollable content. A funny effect is reproducable on this page:
www.opodo.co.uk (no advertizing intended): some part of the form consistently
fails to repaint during scrolling (the part containing line edits).
Also when searching within a page, repaint frequently fails.
My current belief is: this bug is actually a mixture of several bugs, some of which
might have been fixed in Qt 4.5.1 or KDE 4.2.3. Remaining bugs could actually
be bugs of konqueror and kate respectively.
Yet more update:
Successfully installed Qt 4.5.1 from https:/ /launchpad. net/~kubuntu- experimental/ +archive/ ppa/
but still no break through.
