Bug ID: 395377
Summary: Regression: "Slide" effect when switching virtual
desktops slides panels on top.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.13.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mwall...@umich.edu
Target Milestone: ---
When switching virtual desktops with the old "slide" effect enabled, panels
would not slide with them. The rewritten slide effect however slides the
panels together with the windows, only to end up with the same panel.
I consider this is bad from an UI perspective: particularly when switching
desktops using the Pager or the taskbar plasmoid, these applets move away from
under your mouse cursor.
The relevant commit, AFAICS, is ddd406dfd91cc085a . From a quick glance on the
code, it seems like the method `SlideEffect::shouldForceBackgroundContrast()`
is to blame, since it the check for `w->isDock() || w->keepAbove()` was
removed.
Reprodicible: Always
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to `System Settings > Desktop Behaviour > Virtual Desktops`, activate
the `Slide` effect in and use more than one Virtual desktop;
2. Switch desktops.
