Description Paul Hands 2024-03-05 21:21:59 UTC

SUMMARY
***
I know that the DEsktop Cube isn't usable, per bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476161, but when I try to test it using the meta-c key combo, it looks weird.  See the attached screenshot
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Run Plasma 6 (wayland or X11) on a standard KDE Neon machine.
2.  Enable the Desktop Cbe effect
3.  Test by pressing meta and c together.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cube effect isn't drawn correctly, and doesn't show all 6 of my desktops.

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have a relatively complex desktop setup - 3 external monitors (2 x 4k, 1 x 5k) in an 2along and one up shape.  I run it with 6 virtual desktops.  I'd expect to see something that looks like the old cube effect, but instead I see what's in the screenshot.

Extended view of the whole desktop.

Here's what it looks like on the extended monitor setup.

Once the Cube effect has been triggered by meta-c, it IS possible to use the keyboard arrow keys to rotate the "cube", and swap to another desktop.
