Bug ID: 461204
Summary: Window can be larger than screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: fw.smi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sometimes, when I open an app, the window is larger than my entire screen. It
also centers on the screen, making it impossible to resize it without knowing
the shortcut to move a window (for example Meta+click). I think it shouldn't be
possible for a window to be larger than the screen at all. Or at least on
startup it is very undesirable.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an application, for example Discover.
2. Move it to the bottom left of your screen and resize it as much as you can.
3. Close the application
4. Open the application
This is a way to reproduce it, which probably doesn't happen very often. In
practice it happens for me after using a bigger monitor and switching back to a
smaller one. Maybe I resized some windows to about the size of the screen, or
some other kwin bug happened, resizing the window to the screen size.
This is to say, it happens pretty often.
OBSERVED RESULT
The application is larger than your screen, and is centered. Making it
impossible to get to the edges without knowing a keyboard shortcut.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window is resized to the size of your screen.
