Bug ID: 455626
Summary: Broken Windows management if activities are turned on
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: activities
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: piotr.mierzwin...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have 3 activities where are placed windows. I work with X11 Graphics
Platform, because in Wayland still doesn't work restore session, and not sure
about activities.
First start of Plasma 5.25 shown me all windows in "Default" activities. After
moving first window into other activity normal managing windows becomes very
hard. Recently clicked window behaves like could be "always on top". Switching
between windows clicking into any becomes impossible. Switching between windows
by Alt+Tab works. After minimize all widows and assign all to proper activities
and relogin shows again al windows in one activity.
After moving one windows to any activity showing launcher menu or activities
bar is not possible. They are shows underneath of opened windows. The work
around is minimize all windows.
I removed all activities, relogged, added again activities and trying put
windows onto proper activity met above described behaviour.
IMO this looks like disaster for someone who use activities daily!
As far as I remember, such behaviour happened in Wayland session, when I tested
it couple months ago.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open several applications
2. Add one or two activities
3. Move one window to one of added activity
Being on "Default" activity
4. Try to click onto any application placed on task bar to raise it
5. Try to click onto opened window (in Desktop) to raise it
6. Try to open launcher menu or activity side bar
7. Minimize all and add couple applications to proper activities and relogin
(restore session must be turned on)
OBSERVED RESULT
Completely broken managing of windows, seems like one or more behaves like
could be "always on top" ,
Switching windows by click onto window placed on desktop or placed in task
manager doesn't work. I mean it makes that window is raised underneath
currently activated, so is not possible to get clicked one.
Restore session doesn't work - all windows are placed in one (Default) activity
EXPECTED RESULT
Possibility of switching of windows like in Plasma 5.24,
Restoring session restores all windows to all be placed in assigned activities
