Bug ID: 427610
Summary: [REGRESSION] Window placement policy doesn't work at
all
Product: kwin
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: quwenruo.bt...@gmx.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After upgrading to 5.19.5 kwin, the window placement policy seems not working
any more for multi-monitor setup.
No matter whatever policy I specify, the new window (in my case, konsole) is
always placed at the same position, killing the meaning of "minimal
overlapping" policy
Strangely, with the same Archlinux setup on my laptop, even with extra display
attached, the window placement policy seems work completely fine.
The not yet updated packages in the laptop seems to be plasma-framwork 5.75.x
related packages. The same qt5 and the same kwin is installed on both systems.
So maybe it's a config related problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the latest KDE5 from Arch repo
2. Make sure the "minimal overlap" window placement policy is already selected
3. Launch several konsole instances to test the policy
OBSERVED RESULT
All new konsole instances are placed beyond each other, definitely not
following
the window placement policy.
EXPECTED RESULT
All new konsole instances are placed with minimal overlap.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
KDE frameworks version 5.74 works fine.
