What do you mean with "original size"? Can you go over the exact sequence of events that causes the problem, and what exactly you would expect to happen instead?
> although I would say it is the exact same bug with the exact same cause
No, it's completely separate logic.
Here's my configuration: I have the laptop's monitor which is replicated to another monitor (with the same resolution), then I have a third monitor which is on top of the second. Say I have a Konsole window open, size 104 x 28. If I unplug a screen, the Konsole window will be squashed to a seventh of that size - so it will be 104 x 4 - and it will be moved to the top of the screen. Every other non-maximised window will be squashed to the same size. LibreOffice, as an example, is resized so that only the toolbar is visible (with the Ribbon-style interface enabled). This happens every time I unplug the laptop from the docking station. What I mean with "original size" is that the Konsole window shouldn't be squashed to 104 x 4, it should retain its original 104 x 28 size. If the screen configuration changes for a moment to something smaller, the windows should go back to their original size they had when there was enough space. The reason I am saying it's probably the same thing is because this used to work as expected, i.e. a *momentary* change in screen geometry (be it due to a screen disconnection or a virtual keyboard) did not *permanently* resize the windows, and then something changed with Plasma 5.24 (I reported bug 449924). And this change affects not only virtual keyboards, but all cases in which the screen geometry changes and windows are resized due to this. It might be something different under the hood, but the cause (screen geometry change) and result (windows not going back to the original size) appear to be the exact same. Is that happening on X11 or Wayland? IIRC on X11 there were some edge cases where hotplugging could cause weird resizes, as the panels moved around in a weird way (or didn't move when they should) (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #3) > Is that happening on X11 or Wayland?

IIRC this happened on Wayland as well, but I haven't tried in a while. |
