Description Paul Adam 2026-01-23 15:40:46 UTC
SUMMARY
When pressing and holding one of the "move window to next/previous/left screen", rapid flickering occurs.
Only works if you have multiple screens, absolute window movements (move to screen x) don't flicker since they can't really repeat

Related to accessibility directive compliance: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/149

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple screens and one of the key binds set
2. Hold the key bind until it starts repeatedly moving the window
3. Flickering

OBSERVED RESULT
It starts flickering because when the window is at the last monitor it wraps around and moves it back to the first one, therefore rapidly moving the window for as long as you keep the key bind pressed.

EXPECTED RESULT
The key bind should either not repeat, or not wrap around at the last monitor more than once, so the window only moves around a few times.
