Bug ID: 368827
Summary: Using the KWin Resize keyboard shortcut, all
keypresses are sent into the window during the resize
Product: kwin
Version: 5.7.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andydecle...@gmail.com
When using the Resize keyboard shortcut for KWin, keypresses such as the cursor
keys, Enter, and Esc should be swallowed by KWin's resizing operation, but are
instead sent into the application window, affecting the application. Sometimes
these keys _also_ affect the resizing operation (as they should), and sometimes
they don't. The only reliable way to exit the resize operation is to use the
mouse, defeating the purpose of the keyboard shortcut.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a window
2. Trigger the KWin Resize shortcut
3. Use cursor keys / Enter / Esc
Actual Results:
The cursor keys / Enter / Esc keypresses affect the application window as if
you were not in the middle of a resize operation, meaning different results
depending on the application. There is no keyboard-only method for stopping the
resizing operation without closing the window or quitting the application.
Expected Results:
During the resize operation, the keypresses should guide the resize itself, and
not affect the application window's internal state or the application run
state.
