This is not a good situation. In this respect perhaps "Failand" might be a more suitable name. Anyway - in comment 25 I already pointed to the possibility of Wayland being the root-problem. And I guess that KDE has been aware of it since long (comment 62). But instead of using their clout as a leading Linux-DE and publicly pointing out and criticizing a glaring Wayland-deficiency they even chose Wayland as default for Plasma 6. IMO, this was a major strategic error as it not only leaves Plasma-6-users with a bad and obviously hard to fix regression but also lifted the pressure off the Wayland-devs to finally (!) provide a basic feature of modern DEs. Now it seems that Plasma-6-users are at the mercy of the Wayland-devs (comment 89). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
