Bug ID: 363675
Summary: Reimplement hiding thumbnail aside for focused windows
Product: kwin
Version: 5.6.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: user...@xymail.info
Part of my daily workflow is to have video podcasts playing in the corner of
the screen using thumbnail aside while I work.
Sometimes though, I want to briefly switch to see the video fullscreen, so I
alt+tab to the window to see it, and then alt+tab back after the part I needed
to see.
In Plasma 4, when you switched to a window that you had thumbnailed, the
thumbnail would be temporarily switched off until you switched to another
window. This way the thumbnail didn't get in the way of seeing the actual
window.
In Plasma 5, that behaviour seems to have disappeared and I find myself having
to alt+tab and then manually switch off the thumbnail with meta+ctrl+t and then
meta+ctrl+t again before switching back with alt+tab again.
I'm requesting that the auto-hide thumbnail be reimplemented, with only one
small difference. Before it only used to hide when the window was set to
fullscreen. I'm requesting that instead it be whenever the thumnailed window is
in focus. This way I can use it to watch browser windows made fullscreen with
F11 (which don't use the window managers fullscreen attribute) as well.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on thumbnail aside
2. Thumbnail a browser window thats been made fullscreen with F11
3. Focus that window
Actual Results:
thumbnail is superimposed over the fullscreen window
Expected Results:
thumbnail hides until another window is focused
