Can you attach a screenshot that shows the problematic state that you are trying to avoid with this proposed change? Created attachment 145352 [details]

OK, so the problem is that at a certain point when there are enough windows, the window titles disappear leaving you with only icons, but you would like for the titles (or at least, some small fragment of them) to always be visible. Do I have that right?

Do I have that right? Yes. Thanks. This became worse with Plasma 6. When the "feature" of hiding titles completely when there is relatively little space started, the threshold was around 7 letters; that is, if there was space for less than ~7 letters, the titles would be completely hidden. After a while, that threshold was reduced to ~5 letters, I guess because it bothered some people. Now it seems to be back to ~7 letters. (But I still think the right behavior would be to not have any such title hiding when window grouping is disabled.) Now it seems like the title hiding behavior disappeared completely by plasmashell 6.0.4—I don't know if either this change or the one I reported in Comment 7 were intentional, but it now works as I'd like it. Yup, I fixed it for 6.0.4. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 483070 *** |
