Weird dark coloured glitch on KDE windows

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello. Since a recent update (currently on 20141206), I seem to be having a weird dark coloured glitch on KDE windows only – Firefox, YaST etc are fine. Here’s a screenshot:

I hope someone can indicate how to fix this. Thanks!

I am not seeing that (with Intel graphics).

I’m guessing that it is related to the graphics card/driver. So maybe you should tell us what graphics card you have.

Also ok with Intel here.

Hello. I’m also running Sandy Bridge Integrated graphics. I was not seeing it with 13.2 but only at some point after upgrading to Tumbleweed (not sure when). Here’s the output of lshw -C display:

By booting into earlier snapshots of a previous Tumbleweed version I found that the glitch persisted back, so I guessed something under my desktop settings somewhere under /home/myname got affected, so I just moved /home/myname to /home/myname-back and created an empty /home/myname, and hey presto on booting back openSUSE creates the default settings the glitch is there no more. All I now have to do is restore my settings. (Small price to pay for not seeing that monstrosity.)
