Bug ID: 449432
Summary: Wayland: Activities panel resizes/moves active window
Product: kwin
Version: 5.23.90
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: activities
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andre.vma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On Wayland, Activities panel (Meta+Q) pushes and/or resizes active (and only
active) window to the left, instead of just covering it, as the default
(Breeze) Task Switcher. It also happens when switching activities through the
Meta+Tab shortcut, as the panel is shown as well.
Resizing windows constantly is a problem sometimes because it can re-arrange
items inside, e.g. Kmail's columns are resized when window width is reduced
briefly. Ideally, Activities panel should work the same as the Task switcher
and as in X11, and just cover the window, leaving its geometry unchanged.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On wayland, have a maximized window
2. Meta+Q to show Activities panel on the left edge
OBSERVED RESULT
Active window geometry is changed to avoid it overlapping with the Activities
panel, resizing a maximized window or pushing an unmaximized one to the right
EXPECTED RESULT
Activities panel should be an overlay over the windows and desktop, as is the
default Breeze Task Switcher, and windows geometry shouldn't change because of
it.
