Bug ID: 445495
Summary: Desktop Widgets end up below "AlwaysVisible" plasma
panels on active but not current activities
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Desktop widgets can end up below plasma panels when they are at desktops of
active activities but these activities are not the current one.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an AlwaysVisible plasma panel at top edge
2. Add a Notes widget in the current activity desktop (called [A] from now on)
and push it far far at the top screen edge
3. Move to another running Activity (called [B] from now on) and do [2] again
4. While on B activity right click the panel and increase its size, you will
notice that Notes applet in B activity is pushed correctly downwards at the
correct position
5. Move now on A activity you will notice that Notes applet in A activity
ignores totally the panel and is touching totally the screen top edge
OBSERVED RESULT
Notes applet in A Activity is under the plasma panel even though it should not
EXPECTED RESULT
Notes applet in A Activity should be at the correct position after changing
the panel size
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Following the code path it is observed that Corona::availableScreenRect is
FALSE for Desktop containments that are not the current one. This is happening
because when Desktop Containments are calling function
Plasma::ShellCorona::screenForContainment(const Plasma::Containment
*containment) const
they get as result screen = -1 . and screen==-1 means that availableScreenRect
ignores totally the desktop margins from panels. No idea why that was decided
and what is tried to be protected by the checks in the function for:
containment->activity() == m_activityController->currentActivity()
any ideas?
