Bug ID: 450629
Summary: Window geometry is no longer displayed when moving or
resizing, and cannot be enabled anymore.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: regression
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyna...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In KWin version 5.23.5 and older, you could enable 'Display when moving or
resizing', in regards to the window geometry. After upgrading to 5.24, this
option disappeared, and along with it the functionality. The only package that
seems to have been removed is `libkwin4-effect-builtins1`, which is still at
version 5.23.5.
I don't know if this is an intentional feature removal (I *really* hope not) -
like if the effect is no longer compatible with some changes to KWin under the
hood - or if the package was simply forgotten about and not upgraded within KDE
Neon's package repository. I also don't know for sure if the package in
question is even responsible, just that it's the only package that the upgrade
removed, and it seems to be KWin related.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable the option before upgrading, located in the 'Movement' tab of the
'Window Behavior' page of System Settings. Optionally, test and make sure it
works by dragging a window around or resizing it.
2. Upgrade KDE Neon's KWin package from 5.23.5 to the latest version (5.24.1 at
this time).
3. Open up System Settings again and look for the option, finding it missing.
4. Might need to log out and back in first, but after upgrading KWin try
resizing or moving a window around again. The window geometry information will
no longer show.
OBSERVED RESULT
The option to enable this feature is now gone.
Additionally, windows move around and resize as expected, but without showing
the width/height/position of the window, and without showing how much the
window has grown/shrunk/moved on each axis.
EXPECTED RESULT
The option to enable it should still be present, and moving/resizing windows
should still show the size/position/etc. of the window that's being moved or
resized.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon User Edition.
