if you disable the slide back effect, can you reproduce the bug? iirc the slide back does some stacking order magic (In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #1) > if you disable the slide back effect, can you reproduce the bug? iirc the > slide back does some stacking order magic I can still reproduce it. I don't think it has anything to do with slide back because the visual glitch is present even when I have only one window opened on screen. I don't fully understand what's going on in the video. Why does firefox disappear at the start of the video? is this a bug or intentional? My bad, since I am using keybindings it is not very clear what is happening. The firefox window is disappearing because the I am using the keybinding to push it to the other VD. As stated the visual glitch is not present on XWayland windows and I am just demonstrating that Firefox, running on XWayland, does not have glitch. Later in the video, I am using the same keybinding on Dolphin, which is a wayland window. The window actually moves to the other VD but the window leaves an artifact. Tip: You can notice when I am using the keybinding by looking at task manager at the bottom, Dolphine disappears from the task manager but the visual artifact remains. Timestamps where I used keybindings: 0:03 (Firefox), 0:05 (Firefox), 0:11 (Dolphin), 0:21 (Dolphin), 0:26 (Dolphin) Hope you understand now! Same issue as Bug 438552? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > Same issue as Bug 438552? I don't have translucency effect or glide effect enabled. The ghost window goes away if I click somewhere or press a key. Also, it only effects Wayland windows. This glitch is also visible when using Pager widget for both Activities and Virtual Desktops. Just drag the window from one VD/Activity to other VD/Activity and the window artifacts are left behind unless something gets updated on screen. It works just as expected if I use right click menu of the window in task manager to move it to VD/Activity. Editing the title to reflect this observation. *** Bug 445436 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can confirm on Neon unstable, though only if more than one monitor is active. (In reply to Firlaev-Hans from comment #9) > Can confirm on Neon unstable, though only if more than one monitor is active. Never mind the "only with more than one monitor" thing. I can reproduce it with only one monitor on the latest Neon unstable as well, but only some of the time, whereas it happens every single time with two monitors. I can reproduce this on both Fedora and Archlinux. *** Bug 448676 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2004 Git commit a4bb3896bfeb716efebd768404915f0414c65068 by Vlad Zahorodnii.

Schedule workspace repaint when window leaves current desktop When a window leaves the current virtual desktop, we need to schedule a workspace repaint so the compositor repaints the old region of the window on the current desktop.

Take a look at that bug report for details, but TL;DR KWin apparently still considers a (non-XWayland) window to be the currently focused window even after it leaves the current workspace. |
Created attachment 142708 [details] Visual Glitch on Dolphin (Wayland window) but not on Firefox (XWayland) SUMMARY I have key bindings to move a window to other virutal desktops. When I trigger the shortcut on a Wayland window, there's a visual glitch as shown in screen recording. The key bindings work just fine for XWayland windows. The window which is intended to move looks to be stuck but if I click somewhere or sometimes on hover, the ghost window goes away. This does not happen if I move window to other VD using right click menu on task manager or window header. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a key binding to move window to other VD 2. Use the key binding on a wayland window. Example: Dolphin OBSERVED RESULT The window moves to the intended VD but leaves a ghost window which goes away if I click anywhere or press any key. EXPECTED RESULT The window should move to the intended VD without leaving any visual artifact.
