Description Martin Flöser 2015-01-20 14:22:48 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #310622 +++

The layout preview for the "Grid" tabbox has a broken layout (the actual tabbox works).

By default, the window which shows the preview is very small (first window in attached screenshot).
The window previews overlap each other and the icon/application name are shown above the window preview.

When resizing it a little bit, one can reach a partially good looking preview, but the icon/application name placement is still a little off, as it seems not to be attached something like "20px below the window preview" but more like "spread evenly across the available space".

When resizing the window even further, it is clearly visible that the icon/application name is attached to the bottom of each application's area.

I also noted that the size of the preview window must be somewhere stored, as when having the preview window resized, then closing + re-opening it, it still shows the previous size.
This might be the reason, this broken layout went unnoticed, as during the development/test phase the window was resized once and in every further iteration the preview looked mostly ok.

Is this still reproducible?

This issue report is quite old. Can you please confirm, that it still persists with KDE 5.23? My task switcher doesn't show small preview windows, but rather blanks the screen and only displays the full window of the currently selected task. Not sure if the functionality/layout changed since the issue was reported.
