SUMMARY After switching from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40 (fresh install), I noticed that my automation running Konsole --tabs-from-file was not working anymore, i.e. the Konsole window appeared in the activity tab but there was no visible window per se on the screen. After investigating a bit, I found that: - 'xwininfo' shows that the window is unmapped (Map State: IsUnMapped) - 'xdotool windowmap' fixes the issue and make it appear on the screen Note that I am running Gnome desktop with Mutter and X11, not KDE. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create file /tmp/konsole-tab with a single line "title: Home ;; workdir:/home ;; command: /bin/zsh" 2. Run "konsole --tabs-from-file /tmp/konsole-tab" OBSERVED RESULT No window appears EXPECTED RESULT The konsole window appears SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux version : 6.13.7-100.fc40.x86_64 X.Org version: 1.20.14 Gnome version : 46.9 Mutter version : 46.8 Konsole version : 24.12.3 Qt version : 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hi - just to check: * Does the Konsole window appear as normal without the --tabs-from-file option? * Does the --tabs-from-file option work as expected in a Wayland session? (Thinking this may be a recurrence of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488396 ) Thanks!
Hi, yes it works ok without --tabs-from-file, and in a Wayland I don't really know as it seems that I don't have it installed in my version of Fedora 40... However I was indeed using Wayland on my Fedora 38 (when I did not have the issue), and on my other laptop with Gentoo and X I have the similar issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488396, though it it is slightly different (the window appears a split second before disappearing, it sometimes works, and more importantly the window is not listed with wmctrl, contrary to this issue)
