On wayland, xorg, both?

FWIW it's working for me here on wayland (xorg no longer installed to test with, tho I have weston installed as a backup wayland compositior), on git-master using the gentoo/kde overlay live-git ebuilds, and I have it set and would notice if it's not, but then again, I didn't notice it *not* working when git master was back at what's now plasma 5.24.0-5.24.3, so I'm wondering if the bug only appears (appeared?) on xorg.

[Just a drive-by comment as I look thru recent bugs before filing an unrelated one, but I CCed.]

Thank you for your answer.
I'm not programmer so I didn't understand all what you say.
Wayland is installed on my system and Xorg too.
Weston is available but not installed.
I don't understand : "on git-master using the gentoo/kde overlay live-git ebuilds"

So, I should install Weston and uninstall Xorg?

No!  Unless you know what you're doing uninstalling xorg is likely to break your system, at least as you are used to running it!

Xorg is the traditional way to run a graphical user interface (GUI) like KDE/Plasma on Linux.  Wayland is the new way, but it works a bit differently and some things are not ported or still partially broken on it, so most people running KDE/Plasma still default to running it on xorg.  So if you don't know otherwise, you're probably running on xorg at the moment, and uninstalling it will break things!

To find out for sure what you're running on, you can try running nearly any kde based program, open Help, About <program-name>, and click on the components tab.  If you're running on Wayland, among the other information it should say "The wayland windowing system".  (I don't know what it says if you're on xorg, presumably x11 or xorg windowing system, but certainly not the wayland windowing system.)

I happen to like living on the development edge, though, and build kde updated directly from the sources as changes come in from the developers.  That's called running the live-git-master version (git is the version tracking system and master means the main development branch, live means I don't have the benefit of release versions, I get whatever has changed when I update, which is often better or they'd not be doing it, but could well be partly or totally broken, leaving me having to try to debug which change broke things so I can revert it, rebuild, and hopefully have a working system again).

Being among the first to see a new feature is nice, but it comes with risks too, and those thinking about doing it better enjoy finding, working around and reporting bugs just as much as being the first to work with the new features, because they often have bugs to deal with!

Meanwhile, Gentoo's a distribution much like Manjaro or Arch, but (among other things) encourages even more building from sources than Arch does, which makes doing your own work-around patches direct on the sources and running live-git-master of a big project like most of KDE easier, because you're already building pretty much /everything/ from source.

My system is using Xorg for sure : From info center: "Graphics Platform: X11"

Thanks for details, but actually, I understand that I can't correct that by myself.
I'm using a Manjaro stable branch and I don't want to do experimentation with my system.

So, I'm going to wait.

*** Bug 456105 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 10 Nate Graham 2022-06-29 16:04:59 UTC
The person who reported Bug 456105 is on Plasma 5.25.2; re-opening.
Comment 11 redhead 2022-06-29 16:08:11 UTC
Yes, I was a bit too fast..
The fall apart effect works on Arch linux but doesn't work on Manjaro.
The difference is KDE Frameworks which is 5.95.0 on Arch linux and 5.94.0 on Manjaro
Comment 12 Nate Graham 2022-09-08 19:46:33 UTC
Seems to be fixed now.
