Bug ID: 377956
Summary: System tray's popups get lost if minimized (via global
shortcut)
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.6
Platform: Mageia RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jan-b...@gmx.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
OK, I'm going for weird bug of the year here =)
First, some background: I have global shortcuts set for maximizing and
minimizing windows, configured in System Settings > Workspace > Shortcuts >
Global Shortcuts. I have only one screen and only one panel, at the bottom.
Today the Device Notifier popup appeared after inserting a USB drive, at the
time I went to minimize a window with my global shortcut. Apparently the Device
Notifier stole the focus, because the "minimizing" happened to the DN popup,
not to the currently active window.
Fair enough... but now, clicking on the Device Notifier, or any other, let's
say, "plasma-native" icon in the systray that would show a popup (notifications
and volume controller, in my case), no longer appear. Clicking them now shows a
slight animation like focus is traveling from that icon to a point outside of
the screen, somewhere at the far right/down corner, and no popup. Clicking the
icon again reverses that "animation" and the "little light" comes back to the
icon from that limbo-place xD
For comparison, I can trigger the same thing to the "calendar popup" that
appears when clicking the Digital Clock plasmoid in the panel, but in this
case, the calendar appears correctly after clicking the clock again, only this
time, it appears with a "restore window from minimized state" animation, which
looks weird, but it _is_ restored. It seems to be only an issue with the popups
that come from the systray.
This happened to me in Plasma 5.8.6, but I've reproduced it on the first try on
a Plasma 5.9.3 machine.
I realize this is a bug that very few people will ever trigger, but still ;)
Thanks!
