Description pollux/ned 2026-01-25 03:04:01 UTC
SUMMARY
I recently discovered a issue where i cant see my portal on my monitors when using Wayvr, Wayvr allows you to bring your monitors into the vr space with its own dashboard, i have reported this to Wayvr originally and they said Wayvr has no knowledge of knowing about this and so it would be desktop specific with the portal that decides to not appear properly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try and use Wayvr in KDE
2. Choose your monitors
3. Select the monitor in the vr space on your wrist
4. Try to open a portal for uploading a file like in discord for example
5. Watch as you can't see the portal but you can on the real monitor

OBSERVED RESULT
Cant see the portals in Wayvr on my monitor

EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to see the portal in the Wayvr space

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Cachyos
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.11.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8665 fixed this for 6.6 but not for master. Supposedly we should also add the workaround to master until we can implement a proper solution.
