Bug ID: 381106
Summary: Effects: windowGeometryShapeChanged not triggered when
window moved
Product: kwin
Version: 5.10.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: scripting
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: t...@r.je
Target Milestone: ---
Using the javascript scripting engine, there seems to be no way to detect when
a window has been moved grammatically.
Using
```
effects.windowGeometryShapeChanged.connect()
```
This is triggered as expected when the shape is changed, however, if the X/Y
co-ordinates change (e.g. by a kwin script) this method is not triggered.
There appears to be no method to trigger an animation from a kwin script to
move windows around.
As a workaround, I've used the same effect and done this:
```
var geo = client.geometry;
geo.x += 100;
//Add 1 to the width to trigger the effect
geo.width = geo.width + 1;
client.geometry = geo;
//now put the window back to its original size
geo.width = geo.width = geo.width -1;
client.geometry = geo;
```
But this is a horrible hack! Either windowGeometryShapeChanged should be
triggered when the x/y co-ordinates change or windowGeometryChanged should be
implemented.
