Video of swapping two virtual desktop
It looks like what's going on here is that moving windows between desktops resets their tiled state on the destination desktop. Interestingly, the tiled state is remembered for the original desktop if you drag the window back.

In an ideal world, the overview effect would simply swap the desktops, but that's not the case. Given that virtual desktops can have different layouts, in 6.4, I don't think it's feasible to preserve window geometries as is. So untiling is the best option atm. In 6.5, we should look for a proper way to swap `VirtualDesktop`s. The hardest part is maintaining compatibility with stupid X11. If we didn't have to care about X11, it'd take 5 minutes to fix the bug. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/7704 Git commit e0569606ab5a5075a55e6d528e93d7abaf45d4f5 by Vlad Zahorodnii. Committed on 06/06/2025 at 06:47. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. Implement proper virtual desktop reordering At the moment, the only available to move a virtual desktop from one position to another is to move windows. While this works fine if a window is not in any special state, it doesn't work out with tiling. This change introduces basic infrastructure to reorder virtual desktops.
