Bug ID: 463834
Summary: Fullscreen Leads to Workflow Errors
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: anditosan1...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Issues:
- Using fullscreen removes window toolbar
- Hovering at any edge of the screen does not reveal any panels or window
borders
- There is no apparent graphical way to undo fullscreen (There are ways to
bring back the taskbar and use drag to move the window around. However, they
are not discoverable)
- The warning message for fullscreen windows does not show "how" to undo
fullscreen mode.
- Undoing fullscreen does not return the window to a manageable size. It does
not show, nor reveal, the window borders.
- Fullscreen disables hot corner effects like Overview.
Suggestions:
- Fullscreen should reveal helper UI elements like taskbar, window border by
default. They can be set to temporarily appear when touching screen edges with
the mouse.
- Maybe a temporary OSD should be shown when a window goes fullscreen to
indicate how to undo the action.
- Undoing fullscreen should return the window size to a manageable size that
reveals taskbar and window decorations.
- Fullscreen windows, should show a fullscreen button in their toolbar to
graphically undo the action.
- Fullscreen windows should allow for effects like Overview to still work. This
can be a shortcut for not staying trapped in fullscreen windows.
