Possible duplicate: 381021 Also related? 360841, but this bug here is definitely new with Plasma 5.10.0 and 360841 is an older bug. I've just started experiencing the same problem here. Specifically: * I can no longer hide the Desktop Grid via its shortcut * The arrow and Enter keys no longer have any effect I'm using plasma-framework v5.34.0, plasma-workspace v5.10.1, and qt5-base v5.9.0 (on Arch Linux). Only plasma-workspace and qt5-base were upgraded yesterday. I wasn't experiencing the problem before then. Downgrading plasma-workspace to v5.9.5.1 didn't fix the problem, so I'd say it has something to do with the qt5-base jump (excuse the pun) from v5.8.0 to v5.9.0. I can't be bothered downgrading Qt5; there are too many packages to rebuild. Downgrading kwin to v5.9.5 didn't fix the problem either. I tried it with both plasma-workspace v5.9.5.1 and v5.10.1. I'm still thinking incompatibility with Qt v5.9.0 is the likely cause. Downgrading all qt packages to 5.8 but leaving kwin and plasma-related packages at 5.10 fixes the issue. Cool, thanks for confirming my suspicion. It looks like something (minor) has changed in Qt v5.9.0 and KWin will need to accommodate. Let's hope one of the developers can get moving on this soon. I don't want to have to spend time rebuilding/downgrading my 19 Qt5 packages! I think the issue is that "Present windows" just ignores the keyboard input all along. When it's working, You can type window names and discards the ones that don't match the query. This is why I don't need a taskbar and why I assigned the Alt+tab shortcut :(. I hope the status soon changes from unconfirmed. I can confirm this. Neither "present windows" nor "desktop grid" are responsive to keyboard anymore (be it input to filter windows, Esc to cancel the effect or the shortcut to active/stop the effect). Tested on openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma 5.10.1 and Qt 5.9.0. This bug is definitely related to the latest update to Qt 5.9 in Tumbleweed. FWIW I also confirm this on Antergos. And like for Carlos this is a major pain for me since I use present windows as main window switcher. What do we need to change the status to confirmed? I can confirm this happens on Arch Linux with: - Plasma 5.10.2 - KDE 17.04.2 - Qt 5.9.0 So you did confirm the bug is in Qt 5.9.0? Where exactly? Which commit broke it? Or is the bug in KWin? If yes, do you understand why the KWin code broke with a Qt update, despite Qt being "correct"? You see, without proper investigation, we cannot just mark the ticket 'confirmed'. I added the 'reproducible' keyword, if you feel better. Thanks. That helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 360841 *** |
