Bug ID: 397858
Summary: Window Manager makes panel/dock windows invisible even
though it shouldnt
Product: kwin
Version: 5.13.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: platform-x11-standalone
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
This issue can be reproduced with Latte v0.8 in two ways:
A(easy to reproduce):
1. After you login to plasma and show a Latte dock open a new kate window
2. Write something in the kate window without saving it
3. Try to log out
4. Kate will request user feedback for the unsaved changes
5. All Latte panels/docks have been disappeared because for some reason
probably kwin have set them visible=false
6. You can confirm that Latte is working ok through Meta+W that shows Latte
global settings windows
B(harder to reproduce but I was so frustrated in the past from this that Latte
v0.8 contains workarounds to not hit it):
Latte from v0.8 supports different docks/panels in different Activities and
when an Activity closes that makes docks/panels from different Activities to
become invisible. The Latte workaround identifies this with timers and forces
the Latte panels/docks to reappear
1. Use Latte in Multiple Layouts mode
2. Assign two layouts is different Activities
3. Enable these Activities in order for the corresponding layouts to load
4. Stop one of the two mentioned Activities
5. The docks/panels from the remaining Activity become invisible (Latte with
the workaround forces them to reappear)
