Description semipro95 2025-11-26 10:53:18 UTC
SUMMARY

When the virtual keyboard is opened it tiles with the other windows on the screen effectively reducing their height. When there are two windows tiled next to each other (side by side by dragging the windows to their respective screen edges) and the keyboard is opened on a text field on one window and then it is closed by clicking on the other window, the second window is not returned to normal size properly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open two windows and tile them side by side by dragging one to the left screen edge and the other to the right screen edge
2. Open the VK by pressing on an input field on window 1
3. Click on the other window 2 to close the VK

OBSERVED RESULT

Window 2 is still half height while the original window returns to normal height

EXPECTED RESULT

All windows get returned to normal height

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Only tested on touch input since I'm using a convertible laptop and only using the virtual keyboard in tablet mode. Happening both with Maliit Keyboard as well as with the plasma-keyboard.

Thank you for the bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 6.3.6 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point.

Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.
Thanks for understanding!

Thanks again!
