SUMMARY
Annoying kde plasma behavior: when I resize a window it maximizes

For a few weeks, I have this strange behavior on Arch ( v5.17.1)

First I thought it was random, or it was because of the mouse. It is because of my usage.
- I have a shortcut to maximize window vertically that I use like millions of times a day
- If I then try to resize a window, with alt+right mouse button, the window gets fullscreen as soon as I release the mouse button ;-(
- there my be other situations where the window miximizes, but believe me, on a 4K screen it is VERY annoying

Before, everything worked fine. From October it appeared.
I looked for a sort of gesture/intent parameter, nothing near that in the settings.

I hope someone will help.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have a shortcut to maximize window vertically 
2. If I then try to resize a window, with alt+right mouse button
3. the window gets fullscreen as soon as I release the mouse button

OBSERVED RESULT

Window is maximized

EXPECTED RESULT

Previously the window just stays in expected size

Video showing that a window auto-maximize

when I release mouse button, the window goes fullscreen by itself

Not very active here.
I ended up creating a Kwin script to mimic the "maximize vertically" action without setting the window maximized flag.

Comment 3 Nadir 2019-11-06 16:58:44 UTC

So pb is: when I try to resize a window that has been maximized vertically using a shortcut to the kwin action, resizing using alt+right mouse button, the window gets fully maximized (fullscreen) as soon as I release the right mouse button.

MAXIMIZE VERTICAL Kwin script

MAXIMIZE VERTICAL
Kwin script to mimic the "maximize vertically" action without setting the window maximized flag.

Comment 7 Nadir 2019-11-11 23:53:15 UTC

The script shall be unzipped into .local/share/kwin/scripts
then a global key combination to activate the feature on the current window.
