Bug ID: 444804
Summary: [X11] Odd behaviour when switching desktops while
Application Dashboard is open
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker)
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: indecisiveautoma...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When attempting to switch virtual desktops while the Application Dashboard is
open, various strange behaviours occur. Firstly, the panel will appear over the
dashboard briefly (for about as long as the desktop switching animation would
take) and then nothing happens. If one repeatedly presses the shortcut for
switching virtual desktops (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+LeftArrow) then a strange animation
will play, as if Plasma is trying to switch virtual desktops but then is pulled
back. Desktop is not switched.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Application Dashboard
2. Perform actions detailed above
3. Unexpected behaviours
OBSERVED RESULT
Panel appears over Application Dashboard briefly and then nothing happens. If
the desktop switching shortcut is pressed repeatedly then a strange animation
will play as if Plasma is trying to switch desktops, and then gets pulled back.
Desktop is not switched.
EXPECTED RESULT
I'm honestly not sure what expected/intended behaviour would be. I tested
switching desktops with Application Dashboard, Application Launcher, and
Application Menu under both X11 and Wayland. Here are their behaviours:
X11
- Application Dashboard: Strange behaviour mentioned in this report.
- Application Launcher: Stays open across virtual desktops.
- Application Menu: Stays open across virtual desktops.
Wayland:
- Application Dashboard: Stays open on the virtual desktop it was opened on,
and allows for switching virtual desktops. The other virtual desktops do NOT
have the Application Dashboard, however it will stay open when switching back
to the desktop it was opened on.
- Application Launcher: Closes when switching virtual desktops.
- Application Menu: Closes when switching virtual desktops.
In my own PERSONAL opinion, the behaviour that makes the most sense would be
that the Application Dashboard, Application Launcher and Application Menu allow
for switching virtual desktops AND stay open across all virtual desktops -
Essentially the behaviour of the Application Launcher and Application Menu on
X11 (meaning as a result, the behaviour of these two on Wayland is incorrect).
