Bug ID: 437268
Summary: Z-order of panels above fullscreen application
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: hiph...@posteo.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Sometimes when I log in the Z-order of panels is wrong and they end up on top
of everything, including fullscreen applications like videos or games. They are
also on top of widget windows (if that is the correct name for for the window
that opens when I click for example the volume control widget in a panel). This
seems to happen randomly and I can solve the issue by logging out and back in.
Sometimes I have to try multiple times, which can get really annoying. I am
using BSPWM as my window manager, I don't know if this happens with KWin as
well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into a Plasma/BSPWM session from SDDM
OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes the two panels will be on top of all other windows, including
fullscreen applications.
EXPECTED RESULT
Panels should be underneath fullscreen applications
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Void Linux or Kubuntu (21.04 and 20.10)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have two panels, one at the top of the screen and one at the right-hand edge
of the screen. There is only one screen connected. Sometimes only one of the
panels is on top, but most of the time both are. The randomness is what makes
be believe this to be a bug rather than BSPWM simply not being able to handle
panels.
The side panel has been set to "Windows can cover", the top panel is set to
"Always visible".
The following BSPWM rule has been set for all windows with the "plasmashell"
class: state=floating focus=off sticky=on border=off center=off
