In multi-display environment it happens that the second or other display is not within the reach of an eye. The new KDE task switcher follows either application or mouse focus. If application is run on the second display not visible to an operator the task switcher is displayed on the second display and disappears from the control display. Follow the mouse switch not always work since the cursor of the mouse is not always at the same display the work is done. I suggest to keep the new behavior but add the ability to bind the task switcher to the display a user can choose. Reproducible: Always
I cant believe this is an 6yo bug. I expect the task switcher to be on all screens by default. Use case: - alt+tab through windows - pick a wrong window on a different screen - start alt+tabbing again Result: Task Switcher moved to another screen Expected: I can continue my flow looking at one screen only
Yes both displays are sometimes good but if you have one display you work and other display is to demonstrate say a control board for others the task switcher appearing on all screens would be an annoying experience. But in some cases all display task switcher is good. So it looks like we have two new options: 1. fixed: let a user to choose display for the switcher 2. general: all display task switcher (In reply to tobiasz.cudnik from comment #1) > I cant believe this is an 6yo bug.
