Bug ID: 421234
Summary: Focus tracking not working with full desktop zoom.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: josser90...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Desktop effects -> Zoom -> Settings:
- Enable focus tracking
- Follow focus
The zoomed area does not move to a newly opened
windows/application/dialog/notification or to an existing window when it
receives focus with alt-tab.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Zoom in "Desktop effects" and enable "Enable focus tracking" and
"Follow focus"
2. Zoom up until about only one quarter of the screen is visible in the zoomed
area.
3. Open several windows/applications spread out over the desktop so that some
of them are always outside of the zoom area.
4. Alt-tab through the windows.
OBSERVED RESULT
The zoomed area stays in the same place while a window outside of the zoomed
area receives focus.
EXPECTED RESULT
Zoomed area moves to the focused or newly opened window.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Looking at the source code on github
(https://github.com/KDE/kwin/tree/master/effects/zoom) it seems that
kaccessible (org.kde.kaccessibleapp) is used for focus tracking. But that
package is not installed and not available (any more) in the repository.
If this is the cause and if kaccessible is deprecated can the zoom component be
updated to use another way to follow the focus?
