Bug ID: 506324
Summary: Inconsistent handling of DBUS
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Raise
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: remi+...@piau.eu
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The semantic of the Raise MPRIS method is not consistent.
It changes with the state of the application: background or not.
Raising an open window does not always bring it to foreground as should be.
I think this should be fixed or at the very least be documented somewhere.
RELATED COMPONENTS: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager Widget, Media
Player Widget
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup:
- Install elisa (or any player that can play in background)
- Write the provided script to file
2. Raise semantic 1: asks for attention and window does not appear
- Minimise elisa
- Raise elisa (systemtray>mediaplayer>rightclick>open OR use the provided
script)
- Elisa window change color in taskmanager but does not appear
3. Raise semantic 2: window appear
- Make elisa play in the background (may need to be enabled in settings)
- Raise elisa (systemtray>mediaplayer>rightclick>open OR use the provided
script)
- Elisa window appear in the foreground
I also tested variations of this scheme with several plasma desktops and other
players such as Firefox.
Raise first script:
```
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
QDBUS=qdbus6
# Get first mpris enabled session
FIRST_SESSION="$($QDBUS | grep '^ org.mpris' | head -n 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
echo "Working on session: $FIRST_SESSION"
CAN_RAISE="$($QDBUS $FIRST_SESSION /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.CanRaise)"
echo "Session can raise: $CAN_RAISE"
echo "Raising"
$QDBUS $FIRST_SESSION /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Raise
```
OBSERVED RESULT
If player is in background, its window appears on the current desktop,
else if player window is open but not in focus then task-manager highlights the
playing windows
else player window is in focus and nothing happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
Minimized window/any window raised via MPRIS DBUS interface should be displayed
in foreground and take focus.
