SUMMARY Sorry for such general title, but because of unfamiliarity with KDE codebase, I'm unable to pinpoint the bug to the specific component. I can see however that it's visible in Konsole app. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Not really sure what's the exact sequence; I can reproduce it on one KDE installation (on openSUSE) without problems by following the steps described below, but the bug never happens on another KDE installation (on ArchLinux) and I can't force it to happen on this another KDE installation. 1. Set `AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions=false` in ~/.config/kdeglobals 2. Run Konsole 3. Change its size to very small or very large 4. Open 1 additional tab 5. Bug: Konsole should change the window size to some other size. 6. Resize the Konsole window again 7. Switch to another tab 8. Bug: There's a chance that the window will resize itself once again, by itself. Then, close the Konsole window. Update AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions to 'true' or remove this setting (it should be true by default). If done so, the Konsole window will behave normally without problems. OBSERVED RESULT You can see the behavior here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcS3hDgphNc On this video, the Konsole window resizes itself, it also confuses the "Show menu" option: when I turn menu on, switch tab, then menu can hide itself. But Konsole still will think the menu is shown, because it will hide 'show menu' option in the context menu! Also sometimes when switching tabs, the Konsole window is resized, and "Show menu" option is reverted to previous setting. EXPECTED RESULT Proper Konsole behavior! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201011 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.14-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSE2
A little errata for the original bug report, in case my original report isn't clear. Step 5 in "STEPS TO REPRODUCE": 5. Bug: Konsole changes the window size to some other size, and it shouldn't do it. OBSERVED RESULT Konsole sometimes changes the size of the window, and changes the state of "menu visible" option, just after switching from one tab to another. EXPECTED RESULT Konsole shouldn't change the size of the window when switching tabs.
After updating to KDE Plasma 5.20, the resizing part of this problem is gone, but sometimes switching tabs reverts the last action of showing/hiding the menu. So it's not completely gone.
> sometimes switching tabs reverts the last action of showing/hiding the menu That's odd. Does this have any relationship to the value of AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions, or is it always happening?
