When window translucency is enabled in KDE Plasma, minimizing an inactive (translucent) window causes the translucent image to remain embedded in the wallpaper until either rebooting or running 'kwin_wayland --replace &' Environment: - KWin version: 6.3.1 - Distribution: Arch Linux - Session type: Wayland - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 - NVIDIA driver: 570.86.16 - CPU: Ryzen 5800H Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable window translucency in KDE Plasma 2. Open any window and let it become inactive (translucent) 3. Minimize the translucent window 4. Observe that the translucent window image remains stuck on the wallpaper Current Workaround: Running 'kwin_wayland --replace &' temporarily fixes the issue until it occurs again. Configuration: ~/.config/kwinrc contents: [Compositing] AnimationSpeed=2 Backend=XRender GLCore=true GLPreferBufferSwap=n HiddenPreviews=6 OpenGLIsUnsafe=false WindowsBlockCompositing=false [Effect-translucency] ComboboxPopups=81 Dialogs=80 Inactive=81 IndividualMenuConfig=true MenuOpacity=100 MoveResize=100 [Plugins] minimizeanimationEnabled=false translucencyEnabled=true Additional Notes: - Issue persists regardless of compositor backend (OpenGL/XRender) - Issue persists with different translucency settings - Issue persists with minimize animations disabled
Happens only if window is maximized.
Ok nvm it has nothing to do with fullscreen or not, it's just if the window is in focus or not
I can reproduce this with kcm_kwin_effects on git-master - Had two application windows open - Enabled Translucency - Minimized the non-focused window Result: Ghost image of the app remains that can't be interacted with
