Bug ID: 400505
Summary: Tasks disappear after resolution changes
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.13.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: marti...@mailfence.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Tasks disappear after resolution changes.
Specifically, I am talking about the place where tasks of the default task bar
where applications go when you click on the minimize icon of the window
manager.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a 4K screen configured to use 4K and another screen with a 1920x1080
resolution in which at least one application is displayed on the taskbar of the
4K screen with both physical screens showing an instance of the task manager
showing "only tasks of the current screen".
2. Modify resolution configuration for the large screen to also be 1920x1080.
OBSERVED RESULT
Both task managers show no tasks.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tasks would still be shown. Task bar entries and their display should be
invariant w.r.t. resolution modifications.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.49.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bug 373075 is the same, but my description is more specific. Bug 189337 was
closed a long time ago, because it was old, but might be the same.
RECOMMENDED IMPLEMENTATION
Implement a regression test, which iterates through all combinations of
resolutions that are in use by Plasma5 users. Specifically the test should
start Chrome, Firefox, Konsole displaying entries on the taskbar first and it
should test that after the resolution change the task manager is not empty.
Please run such a regression test suite before each release, since such bugs
shouldn't exist for almost a decade.
RECOMMENDED PROCESS CHANGE
Stop writing new features for which you do not have either exhaustive or tests
written in a framework like hypothesis (e.g.
https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). I.e. try to make a release which
has *no* bugs.
