[plasmashell] [Bug 410238] "Always visible" top panel in multi-screen environment influences faulty the other screens

Sorry if that's not the answer folks were looking for. Resources are limited and we need more developers to help out to fix small unusual workaroundable issues like this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Although those other panel are on other desktops and window managers (Cinnamon, Budgie, XFCE), so fairly different environment. I've narrowed it down a bit more. Because GTK CSD windows (ie. Firefox) worked fine, I tried an a couple of Aurorae themes it worked as well. So it's only an issue with Breeze window decorations.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410238 --- Comment #16 from Michail Vourlakos --- The screens that do not have a top panel you can lower them a bit at your plasma settings, screens OR you can disable the snapping feature of KWin from plasma systemsettings, either way should work. The big question is why you do not have the issue with plasma panel even though you should according to X11 definitions.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410238 --- Comment #15 from Michail Vourlakos --- Nope, the theoretical part is pretty clear. X11 considers multi screen environments a single big working area. When a panel is setting struts the Always Visible case then this area is reduced and that applies to all screens as long as the screens have the same y value. One way to workaround should be the following, the screens -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410238 --- Comment #14 from Graham Powell --- (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #13) > I think this is described as X11 limitation, some > info about it https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=102303 Although similar, it's not the same issue. That user had issues with the panel covering the maximized window when set to "Always Visible". What we do have in common is the issue is only when a panel is in the top position. The long-standing X bug/limitation has to do with monitors of different heights (from my understanding). Mine monitors are all identical height. I did try with both Plasma and Latte again, and double checked all my settings to make sure I'm not crazy, and I still don't get this behavior with a Plasma panel. I can move the window to the top of a secondary monitor with the panel set to "Always Visible". With Latte I can't unless I set it to "Windows go Below", which of course means I cut off the top of my window when maximizing on my primary screen. It also seems odd to me that I can maximize a window to the top of the screen on secondary monitors using Latte, but I can't move the window to the top of the screen. It also seems odd that it only happens when using a latte panel on the top of the screen. When using a panel on the bottom everything works as expected. Oh, and I forgot to mention this is only for QT apps. GTK apps work exactly as expected on both panel and non-panel monitors. Plasma panels on the top and bottom (when set to Always Visible), and Latte panel in the bottom position only, will snap a window to the panel, but you can also force the window below it with some mouse pressure. On Latte, this only works in the bottom position. The top has a hard stop for QT apps. And please recognize that I am not complaining, or expect you to fix this right away (or ever). I fully understand how hard it is to create a great product in your spare time, which is something you have very much accomplished! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
