Bug ID: 457384
Summary: KWin: Present Windows effect suddenly stopped working.
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-present-windows
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
Hello
My Present Windows function suddenly stopped working in KDE.
I don't know how many days ago since I don't use this function too often.
I am using Arch Linux (EndeavourOS) with all the latest updates.
Present Windows was and is activated under Settings > Workspace Behavior >
Desktop Effects > Window Management: Desktop Grid, Overview, Present Windows.
The default shortcut `Meta+W` does not work anymore and I also had Present
Windows bound to a corner in the Screen Edges settings - also not working
anymore.
I think `qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "ExposeAll"`
is the console command for Present Windows but that's also not working.
When I press the shortcut or use the corner nothing happens at all.
___
I did not change anything in my settings so I guess some update broke this
functionality but I don't know when exactly, how or why.
*A friend of mine is also using Arch Linux (EndeavourOS) and has the same
problem.*
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to activate the Present Windows
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The Present Windows effect appears on screen.
