Description Andrew A. Adams 2017-01-20 01:33:34 UTC
Current behaviour: Adding a new desktop produces a desktop "n+1" where n is the original number of desktops. All existing desktops retain their current numbering.
Deleting a desktop deletes desktop 1, and moves all windows from it onto desktop 2, instead of deleting desktop "n+1" and adding all its windows to desktop "n".

Expected behaviour: Add desktop, followed by remove desktop should remove the most recently added desktop and place its windows on the last remaining desktop, or ask for a specific desktop to be removed and also ask which desktop to which windows on the deleted dekstop should be placed.

Can't reproduce in:

Plasma: 5.12.1
Apps: 17.12.2
Frameworks: 5.43.0
Qt: 5.10.1
Kernel: 4.14.20-2-MANJARO
OS: Netrunner Rolling
Comment 2 Andrew A. Adams 2018-02-23 06:07:54 UTC
Maybe this depends on the settings in display of desktops in the "Desktop pager" where I have two rows of desktops set. In particular I normally use 4 dekstops, displayed as:

1 2
3 4

in the pager. If I add a fifth, this becomes 
1 2 3
4 5

and when a desktop is removed, for me, it becomes:
2 3
4 5

Also cannot reproduce, even with that layout.

A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.25 (the latest LTS version) or 5.25 (the latest version, period)?
