Bug ID: 469734
Summary: Kwin's "Switch to window to the left/right" do not
work across screens that aren't the same size
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On my setup, I have 2 vertical screens and one horizontal screen that is
positioned to the right at about the center line of the vertical screens. I use
the "Switch to window to the left/right" keyboard shortcuts a lot to get to
specific window.
This used to work well, on Wayland (I haven't tested with X11 recently, but it
used to work well there as well), up until sometime during 5.27.
Now, if I want to switch from a maximized window on a vertical screen to a
window on the horizontal screen, the "switch to window" shortcuts refuse to
traverse the boundary between the vertical screens and horizontal screen,
though I can get to the horizontal screen by going in through the left -
wrapping around to come in to the horizontal screen from the far side.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using a setup of a vertical screen (or two) on the left side, and a
horizontal screen on the right side, have maximized windows on all screens.
2. Select the window on the left most screen.
3. Press the "switch to window to the right" shortcut (Meta+Alt+Right)
repeatedly until you get to the window on the right most screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
Kwin will not switch to the right most screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kwin should eventually activate the window on the right most screen.
The reverse also doesn't work - when selecting the window on the horizontal
screen, it is not possible to use the "Switch to window to the left" shortcut
to go to the vertical screen.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.2.0-20-generic (64-bit)
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz
Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Screen cast showing the issue will be attached shortly.
I found that if the window on the vertical screen is not maximized, then the
"switch to window to the right" does go to the horizontal screen, but it still
won't go back left - regardless whether the window on the horizontal screen is
maximized or not.
