Bug ID: 473594
Summary: Custom Tiling sometimes doesn't work with Firefox
Wayland (+workaround)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Custom Tiling
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lk.d...@gmail.com
CC: notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Not sure if this is a Firefox or KWin issue, but attempting to tile a Firefox
Wayland window (with shift+drag) *sometimes* does not work*. The tiling
indicator shows up, but at the end of the drag, it stays where it was
immediately before releasing mouse left. This only happens when I launch
Firefox with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1. Using just "firefox" launches it in XWayland
mode, which does not have that issue.
* I found a WORKAROUND, which might help resolving that issue:
After the window fails to tile, switching to another virtual desktop, and then
back to the original one, gets the window to tile properly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable custom tiling
2. Start Firefox in Wayland mode with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox
3. Shift+drag the firefox window to any desired custom tile, until the tiling
indicator appears
4. Release mouse left, observe how the window did not tile.
5. If that did not trigger the bug, try again on a different tile.
OBSERVED RESULT
The window does not tile to the desired tile, instead it just keeps its
position and dimensions as they were immediately before releasing mouse left.
EXPECTED RESULT
After releasing mouse left, the window should tile properly to the desired
tile.
