Description ghassanm 2001-01-27 21:57:36 UTC 
Package:  tasklist applet
Severity: normal
Version:  1.2.1
Synopsis: changed task names are written over current name
Class:    sw-bug

Distribution: Debian 2.2
System: Linux 2.4.0-test1 i686 unknown
C library: C library 2.1.3-10
C compiler: 2.95.2
glib: 1.2.8
GTK+: 1.2.8
ORBit: ORBit 0.5.1
gnome-libs: gnome-libs 1.2.1

gnome-core: gnome-core 1.2.1


Description:
I'm currently using the charlette gtk theme.
Whenever a program decides to change its window title, instead of the
the new
title getting displayed on the task item, it writes the new title over
the old; thus
making it impossible to read the text.

Moving a window over the task item causes it to refresh the item name,
and as
a result it clears the old goobley gock.

Comment 1 Telsa Gwynne 2001-06-11 07:26:15 UTC 
I've seen another of these reports which doesn't specifically
mention any theme, but I wonder whether this is theme-related.
Moving to tasklist in case it isn't :)
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2001-07-06 11:41:34 UTC 
I think it's theme related too. Please try to reproduce it with the
"default" theme.
Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2004-10-19 07:34:56 UTC 
Moving reports from obsolete component 'tasklist' to 'general.
