Bug 480210

SUMMARY

Since some time now some applications shrink when one interacts with them, and I believe this is not a reaction to a application side request, but rather something in the stack somewhere leading to this issue. I don't know if it's KWin or Breeze or whatever triggering this, as I'm not well acquainted with how this stack works.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  open konsole
2.  open tabs in konsole

alternatively:

1. open kdevelop
2. open some files

OBSERVED RESULT

the main window shrinks a little for every tab opened, kdevelop also resizes slightly when closing tabs.

Here's a backtrace I got by setting a breakpoint in `QWindow::heightChanged`, but note how it reacts to a XCB event - any suggestion on how I could track down where that async request originates?

Note that I'm on Arch, but a colleague reproduced the same issue on OpenSuSE. Both of us use X11.

EXPECTED RESULT

the mainwindow doesn't change size

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I'm happy to help with debugging this if anyone can provide me further suggestions on what to investigate here. If this is not kwin related, then please point me to the suggested place to report this instead.

Thanks
