Description Keziolio 2019-09-06 19:35:26 UTC
SUMMARY

Please see the video: https://youtu.be/zikzg5cDIrs
This is with xorg, mesa with amd gpu

The two major things are:
1) spectacle's "rectangular region" mode is shifted to the left, and I can't screenshot the left part of the desktop
2) yakuake doesn't show up on a monitor, or, with two monitors, it shows but with a smaller / wrong width 

This seems to also glitch part of some applications, for example QtCreator works "better" on the left monitor, on the rightmost one it tends to glitch and not update the screen / render some panels with wrong size

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. attach more than one monitor (tested with 2 and 3 4k monitors)
2. admire the breakage

I can reproduce this with another clean user, so it shouldn't be a configuration issue


OBSERVED RESULT
Bugs

EXPECTED RESULT
The absence of bugs

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Latest version of everything in Arch Linux, this has been going on for ages

Can you take screenshot of all screens when kwin is broken? Does it look good?
Comment 2 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-09-06 19:59:06 UTC
Use this command
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /Screenshot screenshotFullscreen
Comment 3 Keziolio 2019-09-06 20:04:08 UTC
The screenshot "Full Screen (All Monitors)" in spectacle looks good, so does the qdbus command you gave me, it's not broken

Regarding the screenshots issue, it's just the "preview" thing inside spectacle that is shifted, and I can't reach the leftmost part because it's "outside" the monitors
Comment 4 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-09-06 20:17:39 UTC
Can you reproduce this bug when full screen repaints are forced?

In order to force full screen repaints, go to compositor setting and choose "Full screen repaints" swap(tearing prevention) strategy.
Comment 5 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-09-06 20:18:16 UTC
s/setting/settings/
Comment 6 Keziolio 2019-09-06 20:25:33 UTC
I can reproduce the bug with "Full Screen Repaints" enabled
Comment 7 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-09-06 20:28:20 UTC
Can you reproduce the bug when compositing is suspended? (press Alt+Shift+F12 to toggle compositing)
Comment 8 Keziolio 2019-09-06 20:32:54 UTC
Yes I can, both "symptoms" persist with compositing disabled
Comment 9 Vlad Zahorodnii 2019-09-06 20:36:40 UTC
Please post xprop output of the panel when "kwin" is broken.

Comment 13 Keziolio 2019-09-06 20:48:50 UTC
"kwin" is always broken since I can't open yakuake in the rightmost monitor, the problem is persistent


Is the issue with the panel and not with kwin? I'm confused on what does what

kwin is not broken. Something down the stack is.

Oh ok, thanks for the support
