SUMMARY XWayland windows are either completely invisible or empty in Plasma 6 Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log into a Plasma Wayland session 2. Launch any app that doesn't have native Wayland support (I ran glxgears and xclock from the terminal to reproduce this) 3. Notice that either an empty window or nothing appears on the screen OBSERVED RESULT Either an empty window with decorations and a completely transparent background or nothing appears. However, the app icon is still shown properly in task manager widgets. EXPECTED RESULT The window appears normally with its contents and decorations SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-37-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Graphics Processor: SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; LLVM; Manufacturer: innotek GmbH Product Name: VirtualBox VirtualBox Version: 7.0.12 Host OS: Manjaro Linux ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When you click on the XWayland app icon in the task manager, it won't focus the app. This also affects the Calamares installer on the live ISO for Neon Unstable Edition. Quite strangely, I was still able to interact with the exit confirmation dialog when I clicked Close on the main installer window. I had to disable automatic login and switch to an X11 session in the live session to be able to install the system on my VM.
Interesting. I noticed this a few days ago but I thought my Neon install was broken. Apparently not. I'll change this bug to Confirmed since I can also reproduce it.
Cannot reproduce on a distro that's not Neon, and we don't have any other reports of this, so I'm strongly suspecting a Neon-specific issue; perhaps a package that wasn't recompiled or something. Can you test again?
I have an Arch Linux VM with Plasma 6 Beta 1 installed, and I could not reproduce this when I ran glxgears from the terminal, so it appears that this is a Neon-specific issue.
could someone post any kwin messaged from the journal when an xwayland app is run please?
fixed in the latest iso. please retry.
