*** Bug 505910 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** From the duplicate report:
================================================
> I tried some time ago with a new user and I experienced the same problem. I also have some applications that are explicitly set to show only in one activity, but they still show in other activities when I experience the bug that I described.
================================================
I'm not able to replicate this bug on git-master, following the replication steps from the duplicate. I also can't reproduce on Fedora 42 I get his now as well after the update to 6.4.1 (KDE Neon). An almost similar system is still on 6.4.0 and there it still works. Worse than the original report it seem KWin has "lost" the concept of activities because the "Show in activities" sub menu of the window menu does no longer show up. For me it sounds more like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505910 which might not have been a duplicate, just related. Plasma desktop switches between activities just fine (different wallpaper and applet configs). Small addition to my previous comment: the "Show in activity" menu entry does show up in the context menu of taskbar entries. While windows themselves show up on all activities, their taskbar entries only do when the respective activity is active. I can confirm this. I'm using KDE neon 6.4.2 (on X11) and I'm observing the same behavior described in comments #4 and #5. By default, all windows are set to be shown on all activities after login. If I them manually set different activities for some windows, they are only hidden/shown in the task bar after changing between activities, but the windows themselves remain visible all the time. My system info: Operating System: KDE neon User Edition KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-63-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (30.7 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: Intel® Xe Graphics Yesterday I upgraded to KDE Plasma 6.4.3 and the issue seems to be fixed. Activities now behaves as expected. From a quick test, I also confirm that the problem seems to be disappeared in Plasma 6.4.3.

That's great news, thanks for letting us know. macieksitarz+bugs.kde@gmail.com, are you still seeing this bug or is it also resolved for you on 6.4.3? I switched to Wayland because this issue did not occur using Wayland. I didn't test X11 since then. This will end up having been fixed by the fix for Bug 501393. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 501393 *** Works for me with 6.4.3 Windows are created on the current activity only, switching activities hides/shows them accordingly, "Show in activity" is back in the decoration window menu *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 501393 *** |
