Description tromzy 2021-09-16 12:52:13 UTC 
SUMMARY
On Plasma 5.23 beta, in a Wayland session (I haven't tested in X11), on a dual monitor setup, I have set the top left screen corner action to "Show grid desktop". It used to work fine on previous Plasma versions, now it stopped working in the 5.23 beta. Other actions, like "Present windows", work. Setting the "Show grid desktop" to another screen corner does not work either.

I agree, the feature stopped working with version 5.23. On xorg as well as wayland. The function itself works "correctly" via a shortcut. 

But, there is a problem with "drawing" windows, they are cut, virtual desktops also. I also noticed a delay when restoring to the desktop. A general performance problem. Sometimes I have to switch the virtual desktop just to "unlock" the desktop restore.

KDE : 5.23
Frameworks : 5.86
QT Version : 5.12.2
Linux : 5.14.5
Distro : Arch
Graphics Platform : Wayland & Xorg.
