SUMMARY I am using KWins BorderlessMaximizedWindows with a top panel on each screen. (with plasmoid applet-window-buttons6) When unmaximizing windows, there is a visual glitch on the second monitor (or vice versa). The glitch gets worse when enabling the effect: Maximise (Kinetic). If I disable BorderlessMaximizedWindows, the glitch is gone. It is affecting me on both X11 and Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a top Panel to the Desktop Primary Screen. 2. Attach a second Monitor. 2. Add a way to maximize and unmaximize Windows, when KWin BorderlessMaximizedWindows is set to true. (e.g. use plasma6-window-title-applet from dhruv8sh and double click on it or toogle maximize unmaximize with keyboard shortcuts. 3. Edit .config/kwinrc and enable BorderlessMaximizedWindows [Windows] BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true 4. Reload KWin and maximize and unmaximize windows. OBSERVED RESULT The animation leaks to the second screen and creates a flicker glitch on it. EXPECTED RESULT The animation should not leak to the second screen, like when not using borderless maximized windows. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.12.41-1-longterm on openSuse Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1
I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. Hopefully this means the bug is fixed in Plasma 6.5.0.
