Description Yohan Pereira 2010-08-23 15:08:37 UTC
Application: kwin (4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0))
KDE Platform Version: 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0) (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 4.6.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.34-gentoo-r2 x86_64
Distribution (Platform): Gentoo Packages

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

When the layout mode of Desktop grid is set to Automatic and only one desktop is present, Activating the desktop grid does not zoom out of the current desktop but instead the present windows effect is activated.

However when the Layout mode is set to Pager, Activating the Desktop grid zooms out displaying the lone Desktop on top and  blank space below it. 
Clicking on this blank space causes kwin to zoom into it and then suddenly switch back to the actualy desktop and sometimes even causes kwin to crash.
This also happens when more than one desktop is present.

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.

-- Backtrace:

The backtrace is unfortunately rather useless as it's missing the debug information. As you are able to reproduce at will, please install/compile the debug packages and attach a proper backtrace.

Thanks

here it is .. i hope.
i had forgotten to compile qt-gui and qt-core with gddb last time.

Comment 5 Martin Flöser 2010-08-23 21:01:31 UTC
thanks - that was fast (in most cases we do not hear anything from the users any more if debug symbols are missing).

The crash could be a duplicate of bug #233363, but it is difficult to say as desktopgrid seemed to have quite some code changes in 4.5 ;-)

no problem doing my bit to help :D 
also this is how i reproduce the bug

1)enable the desktop grid plugin and set the layout to pager.
2)Make sure you have only one virtual desktop
3) activate the desktop grid and click on the blank space below the virtual 
desktop (shown in the attached screen shot of the pager layout). kwin will now 
zoom into the black space and then immediatly switch back to the actualy 
desktop.
4) keep repeating step 3 till kwin crashes (arround 5-7 times is usually 
enough).

Comment 8 Martin Flöser 2010-08-28 09:42:29 UTC
there is a bug in the pager: it leaves number of rows at two if there is only one desktop. I will add a sanity check to desktop grid to prevent this crash.

SVN commit 1169040 by graesslin:

Add sanity check to DesktopGrid in case of pager layout and only one desktop.

Pager reported two rows, which does not make sense and caused the grid to be in
an inconsistent state.
