Bug ID: 382219
Summary: Touch screen swipe gestures interferes with Latte
dock's ability to show itself if hidden (even without
a touch screen).
Product: kwin
Version: 5.10.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: libookami.p...@openmailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
Hi, the following is just a minor detail and i don't know if it can even
considered a bug but here we go:
Since i got the update to Plasma 5.10 on Neon Latte dock started to fail by not
being able to show itself most of the time. I noticed a new KCM about touch
swipe gestures on borders and one gesture is activated by default on the left
border. So after fiddling a bit i noticed that Latte dock only fails to show
itself on borders where there's a gesture activated, so i just disabled the
gesture on the left border and after restarting my session i has been able to
use Latte dock normally.
I filled a bug against Latte dock too, you can see the details here:
https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/512
To reproduce the problem:
1: Activate swipe gesture for an specific border.
2: Put Latte-Dock on the border where you activated the swipe gesture if it was
not there already.
3: Activate an option to auto-hide or dodge windows for that dock.
4: Close and open your session again (only restarting plasmashell and kwin
didn't work for me to trigger the problem).
5: Now It's very hard or practically impossible to make the dock show itself
when you put the mouse on that border.
It's not a big deal and i know maybe it's something that cannot be fixed but i
fill the bug just for the developers to be aware that this can happen, i'm not
even sure if i'm filling the bug against the correct product. Just tried it
again today and it still happens, i don't have a touch screen, it may be good
to only enable touch gestures when a touch device is detected. Thanks for your
attention.
