Bug ID: 491130
Summary: Session management loses state between sessions
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Session Management
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: flossy-...@online.de
CC: natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
After logout or shutdown, when logging in again, session is occasionally not
restored correctly.
When multiple windows of an application were open, sometimes they are not
restarted.
(This never happened with Plasma 5.27.9 over a period of more than 20 months,
but happens roughly in 1 out of 5 re-logins with Plasma 5.27.11 – so the bug
was introduced between)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Plasma is configured to restore the session from the last logout.
So far no reproducible trigger could be identified – it seems to happen
randomly on several different systems (with the same SW versions).
OBSERVED RESULT
After logout sometimes multiple windows of several programs – observed with
Dolphin, Konsole (and some tabs of Firefox, but that might be an uncorrelated
issue) – are not restored. Instead either no window or a single window of the
program is opened (at the default location – i.e. user home)
Funnily: If then you logout immediately and then re-login, often the windows
are restored correctly as you left them with the session second to last … (nice
bug – bug, because it should have restored the incomplete state of the previous
session – but recovers the state of the penultimate (which the previous session
should have had recovered) …
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE/Plasma correctly and reliable recovers the window states of the previous
session.
(as can and is expected from X11 window managers since the days of "olvwm" – 35
years ago …)
