--- Comment #13 from S. Christian Collins <[email protected]> --- Prior to this regression, I would have Dolphin and Kate (both pinned to all desktops) tiled one above the other on my secondary monitor. However, since this is now unworkable due to this bug, I have implemented a workaround using kdotool to set each window to the desired size and position. Here is my method: 1. Set Dolphin and Kate pinned to all desktops using Window Rules in System Settings. 2. Install kdotool. 2. Create a launcher script for each application to set the window to the desired location and size. You will need to modify the application name, window title and coordinates for your own use case (copy the text between the horizontal dash lines): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Launch Dolphin dolphin & # Wait for the Dolphin window to be ready while ! kdotool search "— Dolphin" | head -c1 | grep -E '.' do sleep 1 done # Set the position and size for the Dolphin window kdotool search "— Dolphin" windowmove 1920 137 kdotool search "— Dolphin" windowsize 1280 591 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The use of the em dash + space ("— ") in the window title search is for windows whose titlebar usually includes both a file name or path and the application name (e.g., "Home — Dolphin"). Adding the em dash prevents kdotool from moving the Kate window instead in cases where—for example—I have a Dolphin launcher script loaded into Kate, since the Kate titlebar at that point reads "launch_dolphin.sh — Kate". I hope this helps someone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
