Description Christian H 2021-12-14 23:28:56 UTC

SUMMARY
***
When you zoom in with the zoom plugin Meta+= and open the show window effect the labels and icons are not placed correctly ontop of the window previews but flying around with the magnification area. Seems those are painted ontop of the zoom. On the places where the  labels should be are graphical artifacts / glitches.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Zoom in with Meta+= (several times, to see it more easy)
2. Invoke the "old" window overview mode by move the mouse to the most upper left corner
3. move mouse with zoom area arround and look at the window icons / labels

OBSERVED RESULT
the icons / labels are glued to the zoom area and move arround while move the zoom area.

EXPECTED RESULT
the icons / labels should just stay ontop of the window previews

I created an review video on youtube about the zoom.

With the rewrite in Plasma 5.25, now the Zoom effect doesn't work at all in it. :( Probably the same root cause as Bug 447002, now that both effects share the same technology stack.

Ok, i hope we get this fixed then. otherwhise i sadly have to stop use KDE software. Zoom is mandatory for me to use an computer. it would be a big step back. Its for me like just turn of the Screen.

maybe. i dont know. i didn´t now that its not working in 5.25. so i cannot say the reason for. we might need to ask the developer who rewrite this.

Remove completely present windows

since it has been replaced by windowview, and Desktop Grid
is ported as well, remove present windows which is effectively dead code
now
