Description Michael D 2016-10-05 19:31:54 UTC

I have four virtual desktops configured over two rows. No matter which desktop I'm on, invoking krunner in Wayland causes focus to be moved to the first virtual desktop. This does not happen in X11.

I noticed that when opening the virtual desktops settings, it shows only one virtual desktop configured, even though my Desktop Grid shows 4 desktops and I can navigate around them. This also explains why the pager widget does not appear in the panel.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a wayland session and configure multiple virtual desktops (perhaps this needs to be done in an X session)
2. Move to any of the "non-primary" desktops.
3. Invoke krunner

Actual Results:  
The user is moved to the primary virtual desktop

Expected Results:  
The user stays on the virtual desktop they were on before invoking krunner

KDE Neon Developer Edition (git stable), Plasma 5.8 (NOT beta).

I just noticed this happens when opening any widget, including Application Launcher, Folder View (on panel), Clipboard, etc. So this must be a Virtual Desktops bug. Sorry for misreporting. Can this be recategorized as, I presume, a plasmashell bug? Or shall I just file a new report?

Comment 2 Roman Gilg 2016-10-09 15:28:51 UTC

It is maybe related to the fact, that the KCM doesn't pickup multiple screens at all. See here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370344

I'll move the report to KWin Wayland, so Martin can decide where it should belong.

A possibility for KRunner could be to set itself as a Panel. @Kai: I think on X11 krunner is a panel, right? If that's so we just need to do the integration and ensure that the panel can take input.
