Arch Linux

Description:

With the KDE desktop as the D.E. and running the chrome browser, when clicking on a menu item from the top of the chrome browser, and if there is an item list then the highlighting of each item as the cursor moves down the list only highlights every second item instead of every item as normal. This is with desktop effects enabled. Turning off desktop effects with Alt-Shift-F12 makes the problem disappear.

If the arch package kdebase-workspace is downgraded from kdebase-workspace 4.11.11-1 to kdebase-workspace-4.11.10-2 then the problem disappears.

The system is arch linux and the problem has been present through several recent updates to the kernel, as well as recent updates to KDE including 4.13.x - currently it is also present with kde version 4.14.0-1

This seems to be a regression introduced with versions of kdebase-workspace since version 4.11.10-2

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Bug occurs in kdebase-workspace-4.11.11-1 but bug not present in kdebase-workspace-4.11.10-2

Bug has occurred since kde 4.13 that included the above version of kdebase-workspace and also present with through kdelibs 4.14.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Login to KDE desktop, and have desktop effects enabled. Start the chrome browser (not chromium) and click on a favourites menu item, then move the cursor down the list of items to see that highlighting of the current item only occurs for alternate items.
