Hi, I use the privacy toolbar in KM 1.5.2, and lately it's gotten weird. After I've been using the browser a while I notice that the labels are gone. The buttons still work but I have to hover the cursor over them to see the popup descriptions.

Here's a before and after pic :



(Oops, sorry, that image is a little too wide for the column here. Bleah.)

Has anyone else observed this behaviour? Any idea what might be causing it, and how I could fix it? This on Win2K SP4.

Thanks.

I can't tell you for sure but it looks like if the code in toolbars.cfg got messed up.
Did you edit your toolbars.cfg? In case you did, rename it and replace it with a fresh one. You will have to redownload K-M (the zipped package) in order to extract the new toolbars.cfg.

Not seen anything like that.

Try to reproduce the error with another skin.

& If it can be reproduced - tell us the way.

It seems that the skin used is Klassic.
Perhaps a bug in toolbars.cfg.

Can you post here the content of toolbars.cfg located in skins\Klassic ?

I will switch to classic for some days, ok?

That way we get XP SP3 data.

p.s. Compact menue buttom for classic skin in case any tester uses compact menu (like me). Just copy and paste it at the end of toolbars.cfg.

I'm also on w2k SP4 and also always have used only the Klassic skin with the privacy bar always enabled. Never had any problems and so far I would be surprized if the problem described by Mr Lapin would be caused by a bug in the K-M package.

This isn't a bug in K-Meleon package.
This is a corrupted toolbar.cfg file or corrupted privbar_green.bmp/privbar_red.bmp files.

Download K-Meleon 7zip package (.7z), unzip it in a temp folder and restore (delete your folder and copy the new) your K-Meleon\skins\Klassic folder with this folder extracted from 7zip package.

Possible but why are they not always corrupted.

So far nothing - surfing all evening.
p.s. Pity that we have no sure way to reproduce.

Here's the relevant portion of skins\Klassic\toolbars.cfg - I hope it helps.

Hi,

The error seems to be here:

%ifplugin macros & privacy
Clear All{
privbar_red.bmp[11]
privbar_green.bmp[11]
}
%endif

replace it with:

%ifplugin macros & privacy
Clear All{
macros(kPrivacy_ClearAll)
Clear All
privbar_red.bmp[11]
privbar_green.bmp[11]
}
%endif

A+

@ JujuLand:
Sorry but seems you have problems to read Mr Lapin's code above in your Linux
I can see the right code in Mr Lapin's post code:

%ifplugin macros & privacy
Clear All{
macros(kPrivacy_ClearAll)
Clear All
privbar_red.bmp[11]
privbar_green.bmp[11]
}
%endif

Your Linux is without batteries?

@ Mr Lapin:
Can you send me your K-Meleon\skins\Klassic folder in a zip file by mail or upload here by ftp.

I've seen this before. Usually, the toolbar background bitmap was affected (which is disabled in km 1.5 by default). I found the last report (watch the screenshot linked in the initial post). The back.bmp was sometimes replaced by Windows GUI elements (maximize/minimize/close buttons or others). We could never reproduce it, but we got several reports with screenshots. The same seems to happen to the privacy toolbar bitmap here (it's all one bitmap, there's no text in this toolbar).

I don't think that it's caused by the toolbars.cfg file. To me it looks like a cache corruption. Maybe you've once experienced that Windows is suddenly showing wrong icons for certain files or links. This is due to a corruption of the Windows Icon Cache. The only way to resolve this is letting Windows rebuild the icon cache. I guess something similar is happening to km's toolbar bitmaps. This happens rarely, but it happens. Since I don't know where these bitmaps might be cached, I've no clue how to resolve this issue...

:O - You think it is the same, still there or a regression?

I have had that myself way back - I have not seen it with the 1.5.x or late 1.1.x.
I thought it was fixed?

I think it's the same issue, but I've not said it's a K-Meleon bug.

To my knowledge, there was not fixed anything in this regard other than that we've disabled the toolbar background in 1.5 by default (for other reasons). This just avoids the issue that is happening rarely anyways...

this happened to me exactly the same way(gui buttons in the background).. maybe 2 or 3 times over a long period.. maybe 1 year and happened to 1.1.x aswell.. i think i took a snapshot but don't know where i saved it.. i didn't take much note of it because it happens sometimes to ie 6 as well and ie5 on win9x also (all 3, kmeleon, ie5 and ie6 share the same bmp background).. it's quite rare but not unusual and can never reproduce it deliberately because i've no idea what triggers it..perhaps redraw/memory thing.. i don't think it can happen when there's no bg bmp.

Interesting that kko mentions cache corruption.

I've also noticed that weird things happen with the website icons on the bookmarks bar - the same icon ends up representing several different websited (including some I haven't visited during the current browser session). In the hope of fixing this, I tried disabling website icon caching (edit - preferences - network/performance - cache website icons on disk).

I'm not sure yet how much that's helped the website icon problem. However, since I disabled website icon caching, the *privacy bar* has remained unsullied and incorruptible. So far, in several browser sessions, the privacy bar buttons have stayed visible.

No idea why that might work, but so far it seems to.
