Bug ID: 505910
Summary: Switching among activities with multiple desktops
messy
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: activities
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using multiple desktops and multiple activities, when switching from one
activity (e.g., X) to another (Y), if the selected desktop (e.g., 1) of the
origin activity (X) is the same of the destination activity (Y) the behavior is
correct. If, instead, the desktop that was previously selected in the
destination activity (e.g., 2) is different from the one (e.g., 1) of the
origin activity, then things get messed up. The first application shown in the
origin activity and desktop (e.g., X-1) are shown also in the destination
activity and desktop (e.g., Y-2), and this application is shown over the other
applications of the destination activity/desktop. The only way to workaround
the problem is to be sure to be in the same desktop number in both activities
before switching from one activity to the other. This workaround is also the
only way of fixing the problem when it happens (i.e., you switch activity while
they are set in different desktops).
This behavior has been around for awhile, probably since release 6 was
introduced but, my bad, I haven't had time to investigate and report it before
today.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up more than one activity and multiple desktops (3 activities and 4
desktops in my case). For simplicity, let's call the activities X, Y, and Z.
Desktops are named 1, 2, 3, 4
2. In activity X, select desktop 2 and open an application
3. Switch to activity Y
OBSERVED RESULT
The application that is open in activity X, desktop 2 is shown in activity Y.
EXPECTED RESULT
Applications belonging to one activity are not shown in other activities.
