I'm using KDE for more than 13 years and yesterday the problem appeared for the first time. It's a result of an update. It's not some 25 year old bug. It's a regression. I hae a bakup which is a month old. I restored my system from it and here's not a problem at all. I ugraded and it appeared again. It's from some recent update. And I'm on X11, not Wayland. And one more thing - I'm don't using activities at all. I there's no need to restart, the problem is always there - no restart or logout ar needed. You probably changed the placement of new windows to always open in the upper left corner.

It seems this setting isn't working anymore and it's being ignored. I'll edit the bug's title. Thank you! IIRC this is a Qt 6.10 on X11 bug. Am I recalling that correctly, Nico? uh, not that I'm aware of (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > IIRC this is a Qt 6.10 on X11 bug. Am I recalling that correctly, Nico? I think you're right for it appeared this days and Qt 6.10 was released recently. I tried to downgrade Qt to 9.x.x but KDE won't start after a reboot. If you can tell me which packages I have to downgrade along with Qt so I can boot after that, I'm ready to try. Some additional info - I just realized none of the 5 options (Minimal Overlapping, Maximized, Random, Centered, In Top-Left Corner and Under mouse) are working and are ignored completely. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 507507 *** |
