In both cases, this is still broken. The Task Manager shows an option to highlight the window when hovering over the icon, except that now the option is a suboption of the Show Tooltips option (previously, they were independent). In any case, the suboption does not do anything. Whether I check it or not, a tooltip is shown, but the window is not highlighted. Of course, these are beta releases (labeled as 5.21.9), and the option may work in the full release.

Since Plasma 5.22 beta, you need to hover over the window preview of the tooltip. Thanks. In fact, I again tried the 5.22 beta yesterday, before seeing your note, to see if this worked. It didn't (I thought), until I happened to move the cursor into the tooltip preview, and saw the full window preview. I've been happily logged into Plasma Wayland since then. You may want to add a sentence in the release notes about the new behavior. (In reply to kdbase-kdebug from comment #6) > You may want to add a sentence in the release notes about the new behavior. I do not write the release notes, but I totally agree. :) The new behavior was mentioned in beta announcement, under "General Plasma": "The Task Manager’s 'Highlight Windows' feature now only highlights windows when hovering over that window’s thumbnail in the tooltip, and this behavior has been turned on by default" see https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.90/ (In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #5) > Since Plasma 5.22 beta, you need to hover over the window preview of the > tooltip. Expect new bug reports about this... :) I for one often use the feature to find the window I'm looking for by moving my mouse along the task bar, so I don't think I'll like this change. Fortunately enough, re-adding the old behavior as an option should be fairly trivial, should we get enough complaints. :) |
