I have observed this with a vertical monitor layout. Screen layout: a primary screen and a second screen below it STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. taskbar and window on the primary screen 2. shrink height of window, in this config the bug triggers when window is less than half the primary screen height. 3. move window towards bottom edge and it will disappear from taskbar before reaching the edge ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. the shorter the window, the further away from the bottom edge it will disappear from taskbar 2. this only happens on edges where there is an adjacent screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240429 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Graphics Platform: X11 Does it happen on Wayland for either of yo, or only on X11? No Wayland here, sry. Not seen in Wayland Thanks. I assume this didn't happen in Plasma 5, right? Don't remember having seen that before 6. Thanks. Cannot reproduce on X11 either Hmm, maybe it got fixed in 6.0.5. Thorolf, can you upgrade to 6.0.5 (it was released yesterday) and try again? 6.0.5 is not yet in the openSUSE updates. Their testing usually takes only a few days, I will keep an eye on it. Created attachment 170124 [details]
window whole or mostly on left monitor in task bar of right monitor
Bug remained in 6.0.5.
Left Task Manager does not even tough window border; Firefox windows do not enter right monitor; Info Center only in a narrow strip on right monitor
Image cropped except bottom. Are you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 6.1, which was released last week? Yes, still the same. (Why is it not possible to add an attachment to a comment?) Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Just saying that the issue still exists, to keep the report from being closed. Plasma 6.4 beeta and KDE Neon Testing Edition This happens to Plasma 6.4 beeta 1 and beeta 2. I updated KDE Neon Testing Edition stable noble on Acer Aspire 3750G for a while ago. It updated Plasma to version 6.4 beeta. I have also ASUS 27" display and I connected it with VGA cable. The Plasma background picture appeared to ASUS screen, but it didn't have any panel (task bar). KDE Neon recognizes ASUS screen, but it works not properly with it. When I firs time connected VGA cable when Plasma 6.4 beeta was running, the mouse and panel appeared on laptop screen and ASUS screen. But then when I started laptop, the panel was diappeared. Sometimes the KDE Neon freezes. That has happened never before with KDE Neon. Task bar doesn't appear to big Asus 27" screen althought it is on laptop screen. I tried System settings but there were no answer to this problem. And looks the another screen task bar sometimes appeared on one test case but all other cases not. Plasma 6.4 beeta 1 freezed two times when it was idle for a while. I'm afraid complex multi-screen configurations are known to be poorly supported on X11, and fixing this ranges between "very difficult" and "impossible" due to X11 limitations. The Wayland session offers a better multi-screen experience that also gets better because it's actively developed and maintained. If you need support for complex multi-screen arrangements, I'd recommend using use the Wayland session. 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information, then set the bug status to REPORTED. If there is no change for at least 30 days, it will be automatically closed as RESOLVED WORKSFORME. For more information about our bug triaging procedures, please read https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! If it's that complex, and X11 already on the way out, I think WONTFIX would be best. Thanks for looking into this! Thanks for understanding! |
