Bug ID: 484167
Summary: "Virtual Desktop Behaviour" options do not work - it
always switches to the activated windows virtual
desktop.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
The "Virtual Desktop Behaviour" dropdown option in System Settings->Window
Behaviour->"Advanced" tab lists 3 options;
-to switch to a virtual desktop when a window is activated in it (i.e. if a
rule is applied to the window to remember or force it's chosen virtual desktop)
-to bring the activated/opened window to the current virtual desktop.
-to do nothing - i.e. to let the window open in its own virtual desktop but not
move from the current one - suffice to say the newly activated/opened window
won't be visible but this is what we want.
The last 2 options do not work - whatever option is chosen, KWin always moves
to the virtual desktop that the window is opened in.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a window rule to force a window to a specific virtual desktop.
2. Change this virtual desktop option to "Do Nothing"
3. Launch the application (I tested with Dolphin file manager which is on my
taskbar, and both clicking the icon to launch AND using the Super+Number key to
launch it both gave the same effect)
4. Notice that it switches to the Virtual Desktop that the application has
launched in.
5. Change the option to "Bring to current desktop" and notice that this also
switches to the virtual desktop instead of moving the window.
OBSERVED RESULT
KWin keeps switching to the virtual desktop of the activated window.
EXPECTED RESULT
The set choice of what to do with the activated window is honoured by KWin.
