--- Comment #13 from [email protected] --- I'm glad to hear it was an easy fix. Another little issue I've noticed is the width is rarely sufficient to show the application names and descriptions without cutting off parts. I'm not sure when this started, if it was at 6.0 or some later version. The other issues were more distracting so it may have taken a while to notice. It doesn't seem to be an issue of hitting a hard maximum width, the width of each submenu is different so there must be some attempt to calculate an appropriate width but somehow the result is never sufficient to not truncate the descriptions. Sometimes it starts off re-using the width of the previously displayed submenu and then after a second or two pops out to a greater width, but still not wide enough. As to the performance, it has always been the case than anything using QML is noticeably slow and stuttery compared to native QtWidgets, but something changed with 6.6 where it became much worse. This is not with software rendering, it's running on the Intel iGPU which is hardly any faster than software render and much more buggy. This laptop has a decent radeon dGPU which works well for games, but try as I might it seems impossible to use that for desktop compositing; kwin gets stuck in a crash loop if I try to force it onto the dGPU. For a long time I had to use xrender compositing because there was rampant screen corruption, freezing of portions of the screen, and effect animations got stuck looping after they should have ended if I let kwin use OpenGL for compositing. When the option for xrender compositing was removed, I had no choice but to use OpenBox as window manager and picom as xrender compositor. After more than 5 years, the Intel drivers finally got to a point where the only one of those issues that remains is the sticking effects, so I can finally use kwin again with only minor annoyance. I had been alternating between LXQt and KDE, but the past half year I've been using LXQt almost exclusively as my DE with kwin_x11 as WM and compositor, because the situation with Plasma has been deteriorating so severely over the last few versions. Each new point release I give Plasma another shot, but each time I find more issues rather than improvement and so the time I spend in it before going back to LXQt decreases each time. With the release of 6.6 I didn't know if I should laugh or cry; it's become hilariously bad. At least this has pushed me to fix some of the rough edges in LXQt, so I don't really miss Plasma as much, and I was going to have to give it up soon enough anyway due to the impending removal of X11 support midway through the lifespan of KDE6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
