Bug ID: 427003
Summary: Firefox always opens in the same virtual desktop where
I last closed it, despite not being any window rule
saying so
Product: kwin
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: rules
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: david.de...@ehu.eus
Target Milestone: ---
I have had 4 virtual desktops arranged in a 2x2 grid for at least a decade. All
the applications have always been opened in the active virtual desktop (which
is the default behavior, as far as I know). However, three or four months ago
Firefox started opening in the VD where I closed it for the last time.
There is no window rule regarding Firefox, either in systemsettings or
~/.config/kwinrulesrc. I have two rules that affect two other applications, but
none of them has anything to do with remembering the VD where they were closed
(I can't even find that specific setting in the window rules menu).
A couple of things I have noticed:
- Logging off doesn't make it forget where it closed for the last time.
- Let's say I'm in VD 1, but last time I closed Firefox I was in VD 4. If I
launch Firefox, about 90% of the times it will open in VD 4, so I have to go to
VD 4 manually in order to get the Firefox window. However, about 10% of the
times, the desktop cube will rotate automatically and take me to VD 4, without
me doing anything.
I don't expect people being able to reproduce this, because if this happened to
everyone, it would have been noticed (and surely fixed) a long time ago. But I
would be very grateful if someone could point me to the setting, configuration
file or whatever, where this window rule might be hiding. Whatever it is, since
it doesn't show up in the Window Rules list, I believe this to be a proper bug.
