SUMMARY I'd like to open a new view for a project. I have subwindows enabled, but when I click Window > New View > [project title], no new view opens. I've tried this with multiple files, e.g. a new unnamed document, a .kra file, and a .jpg file. I've also tried this with and without a Cintiq 13HD connected. I've reproduced this with Krita 4.2.2 as well as 4.2.7.1b. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open project file 2. Click on Window > New View > [project title] 3. Wait for new view to appear. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT A new view opens showing the same document. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Linux (x86_64) release 4.15.0-66-generic (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
That's strange -- that works fine for me with the 4.2.7.1 appimage, both in tabs and in subwindow mode.

Since you're on Linux, could you try with another window manager?
Okay, I tried it on i3wm and it worked. I normally use the Ubuntu default (compiz, on Unity).
Still strange, I just tried the default ubuntu desktop, and new view worked for me. But when I went back to my ordinary plasma desktop, things like alt-tab were broken. I'm blaming bugs in Ubuntu/Gnome...
I am having this exact same isssue on KDE Neon 5.24 I tried with kde plasma 5.24.5 and lxqt1. both share this issue. Strangely enough, if I use kde wayland and run krita via Xwayland, the bug disappear. However that is not a solution for me because I need xorg to use my graphic tablet.
It's still not a bug in Krita, but in the window manager and we cannot do anything about it in our code.
