Bug ID: 410899
Summary: Desktop Grid switches Activity
Product: kwin
Version: 5.12.8
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Very similar to bug 242555 (resolved). When I activate Desktop Grid desktops
and applications are shown from my current activity, but when clicking it
behaves as if applications from all activities are shown. Difference with bug
242555 is that "Use Present Windows effect to layout the windows" is unchecked,
however even with it checked there is still some bugginess with dragging
windows around.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have at least 2 desktops and two activities
2. Uncheck "Use Present Windows effect to layout the windows" for the Desktop
grid effect.
3. Have a window open full screen in activity 1 on desktop 1, and another one
full screen on activity 2 desktop 2.
4. Activate Desktop Grid on activity 1, click on (empty) desktop 2
OBSERVED RESULT
Switch to activity 2, desktop 2, focus on the open application there.
EXPECTED RESULT
Switch to the empty desktop 2 of activity 1.
Note, when the application are on the same desktop but different activities, it
seems to switch to the one that had the focus most recently. Also dragging
windows around in Desktop Grid suffers from the same issue.
As a result, using activities together with desktop grid is almost impossible.
A somewhat OK solution seems to be to check "Use Present Windows effect to
layout the windows" (as supposedly fixed in bug 242555), but then a similar
issue is still present:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have at least 3 desktops and two activities
2. Check "Use Present Windows effect to layout the windows" for the Desktop
grid effect.
3. Have a window open full screen in activity 1 on desktop 1, and another one
full screen on activity 2 desktop 2.
4. Activate Desktop Grid on activity 1.
5. Drag the empty desktop 3 to the empty desktop 2, switching them. Then drag
empty desktop 3 to empty desktop 2 again, switching them back.
OBSERVED: Situation restored to exactly as between step 4 and 5.
EXPECTED: Switched to activity 2
6. Still in desktop grid (showing activity 2 now), clicking on desktop 1 will
bring you to activity 1 (with the focus on the window there) and clicking on
desktop 2 will bring you to activity 2 (with the focus on the window there).
