I upgraded to the latest packages for my KDE Neon installation, and now the switching between windows of the current application does not work properly. KDE Plasma: 5.10.2 Frameworks: 5.35.0 QT: 5.9.0 Kernel: 4.4.0-81-generic OS: 64-bit I found that if I just do "Alt + `" when the focus is on the application, it will not work. However, if I first do "Alt + TAB" until I reach an application with multiple windows, and then (Without releasing the Alt), press the "`", then it does work. Also, I noticed that when the application has a cursor (Say, konsole), and I press "Alt + `", then the cursor does a very short blink, as if it looses the focus for a millisecond or something...
Could be a regression in Qt affecting kglobalaccel. I can confirm the behavior you describe.
I just restarted kglobalaccel and it works fine afterwards. Could it be that you use multiple keyboard layouts?
Confirmed that restarting kglobalaccel5 fixes the issue btw, is there a "proper" way of doing it? or just kill the PID and then kglobalaccel5& ? And no, I'm only using 1 layout: English (US, international AltGr Unicode combining, alternative)
> btw, is there a "proper" way of doing it? or just kill the PID and then kglobalaccel5& that's how I did it as well :-) > And no, I'm only using 1 layout Bah, would have been a nice theory as that would have explained it (as we have similar bug reports for that). Seems like it does need investigation.
cool, thanks :) Let me know if you need to me to install some debug pkgs and try stuff
I am now on 5.10.3 and the issue is gone... At least, I don't need to restart kglobalaccel5 after booting...
Setting to worksforme. If it happens again please reopen.
Hey Martin, this manifested again this morning, however in this case, the Alt + ` was working fine, until at some point it stopped working. After I kill the kglobalaccel5 PID and started it again with kglobalaccel5& I have the switching windows working again, and did not have any more issues yet. KDE Neon 5.10 KDE Plasma 5.10.5 KDE Frameworks 5.38.0 QT 5.9.1 Kernel 4.4.0-96-generic OS: 64-bit
Please monitor whether that happens again and whether there is a pattern.
I sure will, is there any additional package I can install for giving you debug information or something like that?
*** Bug 385876 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
With 5.11.1 restarting kglobalaccel5 doesn't fix issue.
As I see Alt+` works for "Current applications" within one process. For example: 1. Open konsole 2. Create two tabs 3. Detach one tab 4. Press Alt+` It works But it doesn't work if I run two konsoles
I started noticing this myself too... I noticed with Okular, open 2 PDF's, and you no longer can switch between Okulars with Alt + ` and instead, it goes into the main Alt + Tab
The problem of comment #13 following are unrelated and are tracked in bug #386043
This happened to me again in 5.11.3
This seems to be fixed, I'm on 5.12.0 now and this is not manifesting anymore... I am getting other issues related to shortcuts. I created a new card here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390094
Setting back to worksforme.
