Description tromzy 2018-09-21 08:03:47 UTC
On Plasma 5.14 beta, with Breeze Dark window style, the blur effect in application menubar (Konsole, Dolphin, etc.) only applies once :

- open Dolphin (or kate, konsole, etc.)
- open the menubar : the blur effect is applied
- close the menu bar
- reopen it : the blur effect does not apply
- close Dolphin, then reopen it
- open the menubar : blur effect is applied again, but if you close it and reopen it, it is lost again.

Translucency and blur effects are enabled
Intel+NVIDIA video cards
OpenGL 2 compositor
Menus are transparent without blurring after each RMB press only in XWayland windows for me - in Chromium for example

Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition

Qt Version: 5.11.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
Kernel Version: 4.15.0-34-generic
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2018-09-21 21:10:39 UTC
I can confirm on two computers running different distros (Arch with plasma 5.14 beta and neon dev unstable).
Comment 3 Vlad Zahorodnii 2018-09-22 10:06:52 UTC
Just for tracking:

* The first and the second popup have the same WId;
* Surface::fromQtWinId (at https://phabricator.kde.org/source/kwayland-integration/browse/master/src/windowsystem/windoweffects.cpp$136) returns nullptr for the second popup. Thus, the blur effect doesn't get blur region.
Comment 4 Matej Mrenica 2018-10-03 17:26:34 UTC
I can confirm this, but only on Wayland.

Track surface creation/destruction inside wayland window effects

Summary:
The wayland surface is destroyed and recreated after every hide/show. As
it's a new surface, it needs a new blur attached and applied.

The best hook is the expose event on the window.

The current event filtering in Breeze operates on the QWidget which
doesn't match the window. Fixing there still introduces a second layer
of event filters on another object once the window is known.

Whilst it could be done in breeze, clients should ideally just call
KWindowEffects once per window and forget about it regardless of
the underlying state. It also fixes all other wayland users of the call
at once.

This fixes blur on context menus opened a second time.

Test Plan:
Turned on the show transparency effect in breeze
Opened a context menu multiple times
Observed that it was transparent and blurred
