Description Michael Monaco 2021-03-02 20:32:36 UTC

SUMMARY
I've also posted this as an issue on the Gitlab page, but I read on the old github page this is the best place to post issues.

For reference, here is the issue report on the gitlab:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/latte-dock/-/issues/51

Whenever I try to move docks/panels to other displays or anything other than "Primary Display," the panel settings dialogue and the panel itself become blurry boxes(I assume they halt or stop for some reason).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a copy of a panel or dock for the purpose of testing 
2. Change display of the copied panel/dock from "Follow Primary Display" to anything else, such as "DP-0"

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel settings and the panel itself stop/halt(show up as blurry boxes due to my theme). After clicking "edit panel" on a different panel/dock the blurry boxes go away. However, the panel/dock that you attempt to move also disappears and does not change displays.

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel/dock moves to the display it is set to.

thank u for this bug report!
I think that multi-screen behavior now should be exceptional!! If you find any other issue please report again!
Thanks

Comment 4 Michael Monaco 2021-03-03 21:06:16 UTC

Thanks for getting it fixed so quickly!

I'm waiting for the Chaotic-AUR(repository with pre-compiled AUR packages) to update with the commit and then I will try it out!

I'll report back on the gitlab issue and close it if the commit works!

Alright, I tested out the new update and it works!

The only issue(or maybe it's just a change) is that I can't find "Copy" option under the "Add.." menu. 

Did the option move or is it still supposed to be in "Add..."?

I just cleared the redesign. Right click the dock in edit mode and you will find it in the context menu, there are plenty new and nice options now for Dock management in the right click context menu.

Comment 7 Michail Vourlakos 2021-03-03 22:40:02 UTC

In the right click context menu, is now called "Duplicate Dock/Panel"

Comment 8 Michael Monaco 2021-03-04 02:23:32 UTC

Alright, thanks!

I tried messing around for a few minutes and I couldn't find it.

I feel like the previous place the "copy" function was at was more user-friendly. However, that could just be because I'm used to the old location.

Anyways, I'll update the gitlab issue and close it
