Bug ID: 495194
Summary: Switching audio devices quickly with two monitors
connected causes the sink notification to move to the
edge of the screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 6.2.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: avalonva...@protonmail.com
CC: isma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When switching between sinks using the plasma-pa applet a notification briefly
pops up on the middle of the screen alerting the user to what is the currently
used sink. However when a second monitor is connected, repeating this action
quickly causes this notification to appear on the far edge of the screen
instead (in my case the top left), and any subsequent attempts to switch sinks
will display the notification there. I don't believe this is intended behaviour
because it makes it quite hard to see.
**The bug does not trigger if:** the action is performed slowly, such that the
notification has time to fade completely from the screen; a second monitor is
not connected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a second display capable of playing sound
2. Switch between audio sinks (e.g. a headphone and the display itself) quickly
using the plasma-pa applet
3. Observe the "current sink" notification normally displayed on the middle of
the main display
OBSERVED RESULT
Notification moves to the top right edge of my main display
EXPECTED RESULT
Notification stays in middle of my main display
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have no idea if this plays a role on triggering the bug as I have no other
monitors to test with, but my setup is one 1080p monitor connected via
DisplayPort as my main, and a smaller 1280x1024 monitor connected via HDMI. I'm
using wayland.
