Version: SVN (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux Using the “Show Windows” effect for switching applications (Alt+Tab) shows Plasma-Desktop as well. This leaves the respective desktop black. But it is randomly choosen. Sometimes Plasma desktop of the left screen is taken and the windows shown on the left screen, sometimes Plasma desktop of the right screen is taken and the windows shown on the right screen but sometimes you have plasma desktop of the left screen is taken and you have you windows being shown on the right screen. I cannot figure out what is the trigger for this behavior, it does not matter whether I move the mouse over to the screen I want to have the effect, also the window currently having focus or willing to gain focus when leaving Alt+Tab is also involved in the progress of choosing the screen. To sum it all up, the effect is bad when having multiple screens. Reproducible: Always
What is the "Show Windows" effect. Do you mean "Present Windows" which is translated to "Fenster zeigen" (backtranslated "Show Windows")?
Yep, “Fenster zeigen”
I think I did such a fix for Flip Switch. Probably just the same changes need to be made to all alt+tab effects.
With the change of rev 1214264 the situation improved. The desktop is now shown in the list, but is missing as the background. This is at the moment the most we can do without changing the code too much which I do not consider to do before 4.6 (risk of breakage).
