SUMMARY Since one of the last updates of OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Window List shows only a single list of all opened windows without separating them by labels with the names of the virtual desktops. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open some windows in different virtual desktops 2. Open the windowlist plasmoid OBSERVED RESULT See above EXPECTED RESULT The list entries should be separated by labels with the name of the workspace. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same thing on Arch linux. KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3
Here's some more information. The WindowList plasmoid is in the plasma5-desktop package. But the "good" and "bad" version of the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.windowlist/contents/ui/main.qml file are almost identical. The bug must be caused by some change in the Plasma5 framework. I've tried to debug this issue, but that's not easy without any experience in KDE plasmoid and QtQuick programming. But it seems, that the block "section.delegate: PlasmaComponents.Label {...}" isn't executed at all. I've added the following statements at the end of the "ListView {...}" block: | Component.onCompleted: { | console.log("section = ", section) | console.log("section.property = ", section.property) | console.log("section.criteria = ", section.criteria) | console.log("section.delegate = ", section.delegate) | console.log("section.delegate.Status = ", section.delegateStatus) | console.log("virtualDesktopInfo.numberOfDesktops = ", virtualDesktopInfo.numberOfDesktops) | for (var i = 0; i < virtualDesktopInfo.numberOfDesktops; ++i) | console.log(" ", i, virtualDesktopInfo.desktopNames[i]) | } This is the output if I start it in a console window: | $ plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.windowlist | org.kde.plasmaquick: Applet preload policy set to 1 | org.kde.plasma: requesting config for "Fensterliste" without a containment! | qml: section = QQuickViewSection(0x562837571730) | qml: section.property = VirtualDesktop | qml: section.criteria = 0 | qml: section.delegate = QQmlComponent(0x562837725f70) | qml: section.delegate.Status = undefined | qml: virtualDesktopInfo.numberOfDesktops = 8 | qml: 0 Arbeitsfläche 1 | qml: 1 Arbeitsfläche 2 | qml: 2 Arbeitsfläche 3 | qml: 3 Arbeitsfläche 4 | qml: 4 Arbeitsfläche 5 | qml: 5 Arbeitsfläche 6 | qml: 6 Arbeitsfläche 7 | qml: 7 Arbeitsfläche 8 | qml: 0 It seems, that all information is correct, there are 8 workspaces with the correct labels. But there's no output from any console.log statement added to the "section.delegate: PlasmaComponents.Label {...}" block.
It might be a regression from a change in the backend that altered how it reports virtual desktop information. I'll try to have a look soon.
