Bug ID: 385740
Summary: Taskbar on top: Resize window not stopped on taskbar
bounds can make window controls disappear under it.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.10.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cysli...@posteo.de
Target Milestone: ---
When the taskbar is set to be on top and you resize a window with a mouse by
dragging the top border of the window, you can resize it beyond the taskbar
bounds making it disappear under it. Which is annoying to fix when done by
accident.
Expected behavior:
Resizing should be stopped at the taskbar boundaries. As it is done when moving
the window by dragging the titlebar of it. Preferably it should offer to
maximize the window height without changing it's width. (Like it offers window
maximization when moving the window titlebar to the taskbar boundary.
Actual behavior:
Resizing continues until edge of screen below the taskbar. Fixing this after
releasing the mouse button has to be done by right clicking the application
symbol and initiate a move command via this menu. (This should be considered
advanced knowledge not available to all, leaving some users in peril or forcing
them to move the whole taskbar)
Real life scenario:
I'm using a 4K 40'' monitor. So I seldomly maximize windows. I rather only want
them to be maximized in height. I have the taskbar on top as it is more in the
line of sight in my setting while if it is on the bottom I have to basically
look down. But trying to maximize the height with the mouse is a hazzle due to
the above described behavior.
