SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install easy-stroke 2. setup a mouse-gesture-action and make sure you choosed to display the mouse-movement as osd (in easystroke settings) 3. do a mouse-gesture OBSERVED RESULT The mouse-gesture has an black background now (wasn't in previous version of plasmashell) and stay for > 1 Minute In the Attachement you found a mouse-gesture "P" - you can see the black filled background. EXPECTED RESULT The mouse-gesture (osd) should be transparent and not with filled black background. The osd should disappear after some seconds (3-5 Seconds) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.18-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 15.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4000 EasyStroke 0.6.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION easystroke is nearly unmaintained at the moment, but still work well (till last plasma version). You can find it here: https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke or in package-manager as installer
Can you attach a screenshot that shows the problem?
Created attachment 143877 [details] This was a mouse-gesture which stay's for round about 1 minute at the screen
This doesn't look like any notification that comes from any KDE code. It seems like an app bug, unfortunately.
It works like a charm before last plasma upgrade. The point isn't that there is an error with the app itself, it is, that the osd has this strange background-color now (was transparent before) and stay for a long time at the screen... even if it should disappear after 3 seconds.
Maybe it's a KWin regression then.
Created attachment 144634 [details] Black squares Also having the problem. When using regular gestures, the black squares disappear immediately, but when using a gesture to change the virtual desktop, they stay and some parts start flashing. And not sure if this is related, but I now occasionally get a crash (return to login screen) when I start a gesture, roughly around 1 crash at every 200 gestures or so. Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.4.159-1-MANJARO Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: Intel i5-9300H Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q -- Intel CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
Got some new insights at it. If I switch in EasyStroke - Settings for the Method to show Gestures from "Default" to "XShape", the error disappear. Unfortunately the setting switch back to "Default" after reboot.
Are you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.25 or later and the latest version of EasyStroke?
Cannot reproduce in Plasma 5.25, thanks!
Great!
