SUMMARY If you add the "No titlebar and frame" window rule to any application, it will open in the tiniest possible window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a window rule 2. Match the window class you desire 3. Add "No titlebar and frame" window rule and set it to "yes" 4. Apply 5. Open the program the rule is applying to. OBSERVED RESULT The window does indeed have no borders, but it opens in a very tiny window EXPECTED RESULT The window shouldn't have borders and it should open in the stored window size it previously had SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 5.14.16-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Here are some screenshots: Expected result: https://i.imgur.com/DpUy8jz.jpg Actual result: https://i.imgur.com/MckDDRy.jpg
I forgot to note that this is a Wayland specific issue. The rule works perfectly fine on X11.
I can reproduce. This happens only on wayland, and for new opened windows. If the rule is applied to an already open window, it will behave as expected. I think it has to do with `setNoBorder(true)` in xdgshellclient more than with rules themselves (but rules are the easier way to trigger this behavior).

Git commit 77b678c522cce0e8e7b39087f74e2ac591cd28d0 by Ismael Asensio. Committed on 13/12/2021 at 00:23. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'Plasma/5.23'. XDGShellClient: Protect from invalid frameGeometry on updateDecoration When updating window decoration do not try to restore the previous frameGeometry if it was invalid. This fixes the case when applying a `noBorder=true` rule on a newly created client would set it to a minimal window size Targeted at 5.23 only, since this codepath is being reworked for 5.24 FIXED-IN: 5.23.5 M +1 -1 src/xdgshellclient.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/commit/77b678c522cce0e8e7b39087f74e2ac591cd28d0
