Description Stanislav Trotner 2024-08-13 04:39:57 UTC

SUMMARY
Clicking on windows within overview no longer closes it until you manually move the window around with your mouse

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open virtual desktops settings
2. change any settings and hit apply (I personally removed a row to get rid of grid overview ) 
3. Click apply 

OBSERVED RESULT
I can no longer close up on the desktop by simply clicking on a window within an overview

EXPECTED RESULT
Overview should be working normally 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Linux 6.10.3-1-default 64 bit - OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have also encountered this bug on Fedora KDE with plasma 6.1 , I don't remember the frameworks version or kernel version of fedora  but last time I fixed it by just reinstalling plasma group on fedora, but I posted it on KDE tread on Reddit, I promised to report it here the next time I encounter the bug, and here am I.

Is this happening on X11, or Wayland, or both? I can't reproduce it on Wayland.

It is happening on Wayland, I actually might just go ahead and try to reproduce it myself and get it on OBS , give me a moment

Yeah I was wrong about what causes the bug, I was  reading patch notes to plasma that evening and trying things out, changing Virtual desktop settings was just the last thing I ended up doing after that. 
To replicate the bug, simply turn on the desktop cube effect > use it once > go to the overview > switch virtual desktop from within the overview > see the bug. 

It does not fix itself by log out, as long as cube effect remains active. But after a logout with cube effect off all works just fine. 

This is not a big issue since I don't think anyone actually uses this effect, the grid and overview  with super + g/w are just easier to work with, but it is  there.

Aha, that makes more sense. This is Bug 488980, which is actually caused by a Qt bug with an open patch to fix it, submitted by KDE's own David Edmundson: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/574172
