Description Antonio Russo 2018-01-22 21:54:43 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

0. Have a panel with an attached notification window (e.g., the system tray, "Status and Notifications").

1. Switch to desktop 1.

2. Activate that panel-window (e.g., the status and notification section). It should be visible as expected.

3. Change desktop using kwin's "Switch to Desktop 2" keybinding (default is Ctrl-F2). The panel-window should disappear.

4. Change back to desktop 1. Try opening any panel-window again. It won't be visible (this is the bug).

If you use the "toggle present windows (current desktop)" (default Ctrl-F9), you'll see a blank window, which represents the panel-window that isn't visible. Clicking on it raises it, and brings plasmashell back into a reasonable state.

Comment 1 Antonio Russo 2018-01-22 23:45:50 UTC

Sorry, to reproduce this, you need, in .config/kwinrc:

[Compositing]
HiddenPreviews=4

Also, you might need to somewhat rapidly swap around opening the status and notifications window and changing to other desktops.

I'm not even sure why I had that setting in kwinrc to begin with, so I'm going to lower this priority a lot.

Cannot reproduce with that line in my kwinrc file. A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.25 (the latest LTS version) or 5.25 (the latest version, period)?
