SUMMARY Padding gets reset when layout is loaded. Even though the Padding field on the top right shows the value that I have set it to. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set padding to anything custom (15 in my case) 2. Tile a window, window should tile with the padding set 3. Load a layout from the "Load Layout.." menu 4. Note that the padding value on the top right is still the one that you have set i.e, 15 5. Tile a window OBSERVED RESULT Window uses the default layout padding EXPECTED RESULT Window should either use the padding set by user or the 'Padding' field should reset to default when a layout is loaded. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.7-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
I was going to open a bug about this but I found this that is pretty close. In my case, I would like the padding value to be saved. Every time I reboot the computer it goes back to its default value.
We can confirm changing just the padding does not sync to disk immediately, whereas changing any tiles does cause that.
