Description Bodo Eggert 2025-01-21 11:06:16 UTC
SUMMARY

I want the windows to not be un-maximized when I move them (old behavior)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Maximize a window intending for it to be that size
2. use Meta-Mouse

OBSERVED RESULT

Re-maximize them, move one window border a little while cursing

EXPECTED RESULT

Have the window outside the screen, e.g. to use a part of the not-shrinked-to-tiny window (shrinking makes it be un-usable), to manually copy text to a window below or to use the edge of the screen to mark a text line on a picture.

TL;DR, it's useful to me

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.1.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.2 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.1.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
