Trying to reproduce the desktop mess as it is seems rather counterproductive. Closing "worksforme" If you'd like to open a bug that says "If clients map iconified, there's no thumbnail in the compositor and an empty space in some effects" ... I'm not holding you back :-P -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[kwin] [Bug 348550] present windows layout should optimize screen estate
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348550 --- Comment #6 from miklos--- Created attachment 95863 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=95863=edit present windows terminals.png Meanwhile I upgraded my system, and I got KDE5. I can no longer reproduce the above problem with grid layouts. I also found out what caused the weird layouts on the screenshots. Steam creates popup dialogs for group events (always on the current desktop), that are invisible, until I specifically alt-tab to them (so they tend to amass). These don't show up in present windows, but they are accounted for. Now I disabled focus stealing prevention to see if they keep being created as invisible. However, I can still force the natural layout to produce weird results with only 3 terminal windows. The screenshot was created with 3 terminals in the top left corner, one of them maximized vertically, and one of the small ones moved down a bit. If I move at least one of them out of that corner, the present layout gets much better. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
