SUMMARY If you move the taskbar to the top (Apple-style) and enable the effect to snap programs into place, and you try to snap a program to the top (or top of either side of the screen) it doesn't snap rather than two or three pixels away, requiring manually moving, but often moving a little too far and maximizing it instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move taskbar to top and enable snap effect. 2. Snap a program to top of either side. 3. Only snaps part of the way. OBSERVED RESULT Only snaps almost two or three pixels from the top. EXPECTED RESULT Should snap all the way to the taskbar. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Slackware64 15RC3 / 5.23.5 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
Cannot reproduce. 1. X11 or Wayland? If it's X11, are you using the PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 environment variable? Also can you test on Wayland if it's on X11? 2. Can you attach a screenshot or even a screen recording that shows the bug in action?
X11, and I'm not ready to switch. Now it's not happening, but in the past it happened quite a lot, with every program. Maybe it's one of the (several bad) things that happen after I go away from keyboard (AFK,) the screen goes blank, then programs move to other places than I had put them, then when I move & snap them back, that might be when this happens. Right now I can't use a desktop recorder, and of course, can't take a screenshot when motion is in progress, though if/when it happens again I could I could take a screenshot showing how many pixels a program is away.
what's the snap effect?
Only one effect name starts with snap, so shouldn't be too hard for you to find. (snap helper)
Despite its name, that effect doesn't actually snap windows. It only draws a window outline.
