Bug ID: 477830
Summary: Closing windows in overview causes erratic rearranging
of windows
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin

Status: REPORTED

Erratic behavior in overview
SUMMARY
When you have lots of windows open and close some them in the overview the
remaining windows rearrange themselves in an erratic an quite unpredictable
way. GNOME solves this by only rearranging the remaining windows after a
timeout and has more of a "the windows bellow the closed one move up to fill
the void way". Looking at the video in KDE I can not really predict how the
windows will move and as this happens after every windows you close.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a lot of windows (20 or so suffice)
2. Go into overview
3. Close some of those windows in the overview
OBSERVED RESULT
Erratic and jarring rearranging of the remaining windows after every window
closed. This looks weird and is disorientating as you know longer know where
the other windows will be after the rearrangement
EXPECTED RESULT
Smoother rearranging with a more predictable pattern. GNOME does this really
well for reference
