Bug ID: 456847
Summary: Changing Autohide setting with shortcut causes issues
with maximised window sizes
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: osh...@eliyahu.co.uk
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up keyboard shortcut to toggle autohide - or can use command:
```
qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell evaluateScript "p =
panelById(panelIds[0]); p.hiding = p.hiding == 'none' ? 'autohide' : 'none'"
```
2. Open some windows and maximise them
3. Activate shortcut to switch from "always shown" to "autohide"
4. Windows automatically expand to fill new space
5. Activate shortcut again to switch back to "always shown"
OBSERVED RESULT
Windows do not automatically shrink back down to the new size.
They do adjust to the new size, if you trigger some kind of recalculation. The
ways I have found so far are:
- Perform an alt+tab
- Unmaximise + maximise window
- Right click to create a menu
- Click in the window after creating a right click menu
EXPECTED RESULT
They do automatically readjust. (This worked in Plasma 5.24.5)
This does seem to happen correctly if the mouse is at the bottom of the screen
duing step 5 (in this case the window is sized not taking into account with the
panel on top of it, then the shortcut causes no visual change because the panel
is already unhidden, but the window instantly resizes)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Manjaro Linux (5.19.0-1-MANJARO)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
(Sorry for such an incredibly niche bug)
Basically it seems like upon changing the hiding property of the panel, it is
necessary to ensure all maximised windows have their sizes re-checked, even
though normally this causes no visual difference due to being in the panel
settings screen. It's only when you use a shortcut to avoid the panel settings
screen that you observe the bug.
