STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Window Rules kcm 2. set a rule to any window/application 3. observe the rules list in Window Rules kcm OBSERVED RESULT Window Rules kcm does not list the rule created in step 2. The rule is listed after we restart the kcm. EXPECTED RESULT rule created while Window Rule kcm is open should be immediately listed. Restart kcm should not be necessary. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1
better step 2: right click on the window decoration of any app, hover over "More actions", choose "Configure special window/application settings...", set any rule and click on "Ok" button

Git commit a82be242ea207fb5c7384d2be7703456b368a414 by Ismael Asensio. Committed on 19/03/2021 at 03:16. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. [kwinrules] Launch full KCM when editing from window menu When rules configuration is invoked from window `Alt+F3` menu, we call a custom binary `kwin_rules_dialog` which currently provides only the rule edition dialog by embedding `RulesEditor.qml` within a QQuickView. This MR changes that behavior to call the full KCM from the menu. The code to match previous rules, or compose a new one based on window properties has been ported to the KCM from the dialog, so the overall interaction is similar. It has several advantages: - uses only one entry-point to the code - adds discoverability to the full KCM (I guess many users know how to create a rule, but not where to delete it later) And a drawback: - only one instance of the KCM can be called at a time, so it will show an error when calling it from two different windows, or if the KCM is open in System Settings This drawback can be solved after adding argument passing via dBus in KCM infraestructure.
