If I recall, you have a crazy mixed-DPI multi-monitor setup, right? If so, can you: 1. See if the bug happens with only a single monitor 2. Attach a screenshot of how the Display Configuration page in System Settings looks for you Thanks! Haha you are right, I do have the crazy setup. I'm surprised you remembered! I tested with only one display powered on and it still happens. When I only have my primary monitor turned on, the task switcher preview appears in the top left corner, though it appears much further up than in my original screenshot. With only my primary display turned on, it appears in the top left corner "centered", as in I can only see the bottom half and bottom right of the preview. I tested again with only one of my 1080p screens turned on, and the task switcher didn't appear. The system settings window lost focus when I pressed the button for the preview, so I knew *something* had happened. I powered my primary display back on and I could see the task switcher on my primary display in the same position as when I tested with only my primary display turned on. I also pulled out my laptop, which is runs Plasma Wayland with only a single display and no scaling, and the task switcher appeared normally - in the center of the screen. Screenshot of display arrangement: https://i.imgur.com/vVo0f1A.png So it would appear that this issue is related to multi-monitor setups, or possibly more specifically, my setup. It has caused some similar issues in the past (Bug 448562) and has had other glitches, so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this - very minor! - issue is related. I should've mentioned in my OP, but the Alt+Click / Meta+Click shortcut to grab and drag windows works just fine to move the task switcher preview too. So even though it appears off-centered, it can still be moved. In the test case where I had my primary display off, I did try to drag around and bring the task switcher over, but either it wasn't there or I just couldn't grab it. I did try out of curiosity though! Just to mention: - On my PC, while my initial issue was tested against 5.26.3, I tested this today with Plasma 5.26.4. On my laptop I tested with 5.26.2, then updated and tried again with 5.26.4. - On my PC the issue was present on 5.26.3 and 5.26.4, on my laptop it was not present on 5.26.2 or 5.26.4. This is another part of why I suspect it's a multi-monitor / mixed-DPI / just my setup :) This bug is still alive and well on Plasma 6 Beta 2 Operating System: KDE Neon Unstable KDE Plasma Version: 5.91.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Can confirm this bug in Plasma 6 RC1. I have a simple dual-monitor setup, and the preview appears in the top left of my second display. Arch Linux - Kernel 6.7.1 Plasma 6 RC1 5.92.0 KDE Frameworks 5.248.0 QT 6.7.0 Beta 1 Wayland & Intel Integrated Graphics System updated today Can also reproduce with a simple dual-monitor setup. It affects OSDs for volume, brightness etc. as well for me. That might be a different bug though. Regardless, both reproduce for me after restarting plasmashell or kwin_wayland. The OSD issue is now fixed for me, but this bug remains. |
