Bug ID: 427579
Summary: Activating wants-attention window in another activity
goes to the wrong virtual desktop
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
With multiple virtual desktops, when a window on another activity wants
attention, the task manager shows the wants-attention window on even if it is
set to only show windows from the current activity (this is fine), but when
clicking on it the taskbar opens the correct activity but not the correct
virtual desktop - so we get to the new activity and don't see the attention
seeking window, so we have to click the task manager entry again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up two or more virtual desktops
2. Set up two or more activities
3. Set the task manager to "show only tasks" "from current activity"
4. In one activity start an application and set it up to demand attention in a
few seconds - for example: launch Konsole and run "sleep 10; echo $'\a'" in it
- by default Konsole is configured to demand attention when it gets a BELL in
standard output.
5. Switch to another virtual desktop then immediately switch to a second
activity. Wait for the application to demand attention.
OBSERVED RESULT
A task manager entry for Konsole would appear and demand attention. Clicking on
it would change activity but to the last virtual desktop on the first activity
- where there is no Konsole window. Clicking the Konsole task manager entry
again will take you to the correct virtual desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clicking the task manager entry demanding attention should take the user to
where that window is - by switching to the window's activity, switching to the
window's virtual desktop and raising the window. Currently it only does one of
the first two.
