Bug ID: 467264
Summary: Intermittently, after a soft reboot the keyboard
shortcut assigned for "Window to Screen 1" initiates
"Window to Screen 2", and vice versa.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.2
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: terry.forsy...@iplawpro.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Intermittently, after a soft reboot, the keyboard shortcut assigned for "Window
to Screen 1" moves the window to the display originally identified as Screen 2,
and the keyboard shortcut assigned for "Window to Screen 2" moves the window to
the display originally identified as Screen 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I have four displays:
Screen 0 is my bottom display (primary).
Screen 1 is my right display.
Screen 2 is my top display.
Screen 3 is my left display.
I use the following KWin shortcuts:
Window to Screen 0: Meta+Shift+Down
Window to Screen 1: Meta+Shift+Right
Window to Screen 2: Meta+Shift+Up
Window to Screen 3: Meta+Shift+Left
Intermittently, after a soft reboot the following occurs:
1. The shortcut for "Window to Screen 1", which should move windows to my
right display (Screen 1), instead moves the windows to my top display (Screen
2); and
2. The shortcut for "Window to Screen 2", which should move windows to my top
display (Screen 2), instead moves the windows to my right display (Screen 1).
If I reboot again the shortcuts typically work properly.
The display configuration is not affected, however - the displays maintain the
orientations and spatial relationships set in Display Settings, each display
has the correct wallpaper, and dragging of windows between the displays with
the mouse/cursor continues to work properly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Assign a shortcut for "Window to Screen 0"
2. Assign a shortcut for "Window to Screen 1"
3. Assign a shortcut for "Window to Screen 3"
4. Assign a shortcut for "Window to Screen 4"
5. Test shortcuts to ensure they are working properly.
6. Soft reboot and test the shortcuts again. The problem is intermittent, so
a number of reboots may be required to reproduce the issue.
OBSERVED RESULT
Intermittently, the shortcut assigned for "Window to Screen 1" moves windows to
the display originally assigned as Screen 2, and the shortcut assigned for
"Window to Screen 2" moves windows to the display originally assigned as Screen
1.
EXPECTED RESULT
The shortcut assigned for "Window to Screen 1" will always move windows to the
display originally assigned as Screen 1, and the shortcut assigned for "Window
to Screen 2" will always move windows to the display originally assigned as
Screen 2.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.2.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Display Server: Xorg
Video card: AMD Radeon RX 580
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have only noticed the issue intermittently after a soft reboot, but I do not
cold reboot my system frequently. So the issue may or may not be limited to
soft reboots.
Since the display configuration is not affected (the displays maintain the
orientations and spatial relationships set in Display Settings, etc.), I
hypothesize that the issue is in the way the identifiers "Screen 1" and "Screen
2" are assigned to the displays after a reboot.
