SUMMARY When configured to show windows from current screen only, task manager shows nothing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a two (or more I guess) monitors 2. On both screens add panel with task manager 3. Configure both to show windows from current screen only OBSERVED RESULT One of task managers shows windows from its screen. Second one is always empty. When switching it to show windows from all screens, it works as expected showing windows from both screens. This is a regression, I did not have this issue with previous (not sure which) version. EXPECTED RESULT Each manager should show windows from its screen only. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux/KDE 5.74.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1
I'm experiencing the same/a similar problem on kubuntu with KDE Plasma 5.19.5: first of all, this doesn't happen all the time, on boot it works fine. when my screen goes dark and I wake it back up, this can happen. if i right click the task manager to configure it, and disable "Show only tasks: From current screen", it'll start showing all windows correctly. if I re-enable the setting, it goes back to showing nothing. this only happens on the primary monitor, the other two monitors have task managers that work correctly. I have a top and a bottom panel on all monitors, and it happens on both panels on the primary monitor. If I then go to the display manager, change the primary display, that will bring back the windows on the task manager. I can then also change the prinmary display back to what it previously was, and the task bar will still contain the windows correctly.
Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Task manager has gotten a lot of updates since the version. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 5.27.7 (the current LTS version).
I am not experiencing this anymore (but mine was also not exactly the same issue)
