--- Comment #41 from breakingsp...@gmail.com --- I actually feel like the current three-state Overview-Grid is the best implementation so far, sans the lack of Desktop Bar. It's more unified than ever, and the Desktop Grid and Overview can still function independently from each other. But then there are odd issues like this, where the single-screen Overview seems broken because of a grid row setting. Now it's just a form of "Present Windows" again, as mentioned before. I'd like to add a few more details regarding my use case, same KDE settings across several machines, 4 virtual desktops in a 2x2 grid, named and kept distinct from each other. For work, i'll use a specific desktop for the types of tickets I work (frontend, backend, ops), and the top left quadrant is just "Main". When I want to switch desktops, i'll engage the full Desktop Grid so I can see a general spread of all windows, with how much work I have in each dept. However, I often used Overview on the "Main" desktop once it was a feature, to show me all windows with the intention of sorting and "flicking" windows to other desktops via the Desktop Bar (very much like Mac OS and rather intuitive). If I opened a backend ticket on the frontend desktop, i'd just flick it to the backend desktop and then single click to focus that desktop rather than engaging the grid. The search filter is very useful as well. Mac OS will hide their Desktop bar until you gesture over it, so the always-on bar in Plasma 5 with a search box blew that out of the water. Since Plasma 6, i've found myself unlearning this workflow because of the lack of this Desktop Bar in the Overview screen (which I assumed was a break), and instead just engaging the large grid, and flicking windows there in the exploded view. This works but not near as intuitive and up-close as the Overview, and I know it's a counterproductive to say, but... it worked before. I feel that the Overview should always present a linear Desktop Bar of all Virtual Desktops, regardless of any Virtual Desktop layout or Desktop Grid configuration. Even better would be a KCM settings option to hide the bar or present it from the left side, it should be user preference rather than determined dynamically. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
