Description meku 2024-05-21 12:56:17 UTC

SUMMARY
Quick Tiled windows are not sized equally if there is a panel on the screen, windows tiled adjacent to the panel are shorter than other tiled windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add panel to top of screen
2. open two windows
3. quick tile windows up and down so that the screen is filled

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Top window is sized smaller than half height to account for the panel
2. Bottom window is sized to half the full-screen height

EXPECTED RESULT
Both tiled windows to have equal height.

Pretty sure this is the intentional design here.

Do you mean this was an intentional change for Plasma 6? Is there any further information on this?

In Plasma 5 the windows are sized equally.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2024-05-23 16:19:29 UTC

A technical change in Plasma 6 to unify the X11 and Wayland panel and tiling code resulted in this effect. It's considered intentional at this point in time.
