Description Marc Payne 2011-07-11 16:40:44 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

With grid desktop enabled, every time I move my mouse over a plasmoid to bring up its toolbar pop-out, two separate overlapping toolbars are displayed. One toolbar (call it A) always has only a wrench icon and a close icon and usually appears on top. The other toolbar (call it B), has resize, rotate, wrench, and close icons and usually appears underneath A.

If I move the plasmoid using toolbar A, the grid desktop layout takes effect and the plasmoid will snap (or slide) into its final position, as expected. If I move it using toolbar B, grid desktop is ignored causing the movement to behave like the standard desktop containment.

Occasionally, I can get toolbars A and B to appear on either side of a plasmoid simultaneously.

Please see the attached screencast.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
* Set plasma desktop layout to Grid Desktop
* Open a plasmoid on the desktop
* Move mouse over plasmoid

Actual Results:  
Two toolbars appear.

Expected Results:  
Only one toolbar should appear.

KDE 4.7 RC1 from Arch Linux [kde-unstable] repo; Nvidia GeForce GT 430 w/ 275.09.07 driver.

Ok, my attachment was probably too big. Here's a Dropbox short url to the OGV video: http://db.tt/CJorsFb

This should illustrate the problem quite well.

Comment 2 Marc Payne 2011-07-13 15:43:55 UTC

Also present in 4.7 RC2.

Comment 3 Aitor 2011-07-15 09:41:41 UTC

It happens to me as well. 
I had two screens one with a grid desktop and the other with normal desktop settings. Anyway, after setting both of them to grid desktop, both toolbars are displayed.

kde 4.7-rc2

Comment 4 Yaroslav Sapozhnyk 2011-12-22 22:40:23 UTC

The same happens in Fedora 16 KDE spin. KDE 4.7.3 (4.7.3)

Comment 5 Marcus Harrison 2012-04-18 04:45:08 UTC

Confirmed on Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 4.8.2.

Comment 7 bartek 2012-06-03 06:46:37 UTC

I can confirm this bug (KDE 4.8.3, Archlinux).

Comment 8 bill p. (aka google01103) 2013-09-01 22:45:48 UTC

I can confirm on 4.11 openSUSE x64

Comment 9 Andreas Sturmlechner 2014-05-18 09:44:57 UTC

Confirmed on 4.11.9 Gentoo Linux.

Comment 10 Marc Payne 2015-04-20 04:54:26 UTC

Is this bug still relevant? Grid desktop seems to have been removed in plasma 5.x. If there are no plans to bring it back, we might as well close this.

Comment 11 Nate Graham 2018-06-08 18:19:04 UTC

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
