What you are seeing by swiping 4 fingers down is "Present Windows effect" which is different from "Overview effect". For overview effect the gesture is 4 finger pinch. You would want to set 4 finger swipe down as overview but configuration of gestures isn't coming in 5.25. Hopefully it should land in 5.26.

Hopefully it should land in 5.26. Ah thanks, when I pinch with four fingers it works perfectly. But I do wish that the overview would be activated by swiping down instead of pinching. The "Present Windows Effect" seems kinda useless, since I can't search. |
Created attachment 149187 [details] In the beginning of the video I try the overview by swiping directly down with four finger. Next I try slowly swiping to the bottom right of the touchpad, which activates the proper overview. SUMMARY The touchpad gesture for the overview on Plasma 5.25.90 does not work correctly. When I swipe with four fingers down, a different UI appears instead of the overview that shows when pressing "Super + W". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Swipe with four fingers down on a touchpad using Plasma 5.25.90 on Arch Linux or KDENeon OBSERVED RESULT Overview UI looks different. It does not show the active desktops. It has a search bar, but it is not functional. EXPECTED RESULT Overview shows correctly with active desktops and working search bar. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux w/ KDE PLasma KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Kernel: 5.17.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It is possible to get the correct overview effect when swiping carefully towards the bottom right corner of the touchpad.
