Bug ID: 374090
Summary: Multiple Desktops change position for no apparent
reason sometimes
Product: kwin
Version: 5.8.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-desktop-grid
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: unsuspicious.fakename+kdeb...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Reproduce:
- Cover at least 9 (better 12) Desktops in windows (optionally: hide task bar,
tile / arrange windows so they cover 100% of all desktops which - in theory -
should probably make it impossible to drag desktops accidentally )
- Work on something very complicated that requires interaction with many
different windows for some hours
- Use desktop grid repeatedly to locate the desktop you need (when it isn't
directly adjacent)
- Try not to drag ANYTHING ANYWHERE
Expected result: Work efficiently.
Bug / actual result: Multiple Desktop-swaps / drags happen very fast - possibly
during zoom-out animation or very shortly after; not quite visibly animated but
obvious enough to recognize some sort of "transition" in the order (as opposed
to an instantaneous change of sequence). Desktop grid turns into a sliding
puzzle, where you have to minimize windows on at least one Desktop so you can
grab it and then figure out the right order of slides/swaps to restore the
arrangement you had set up. Slow descent into insanity over the course of
several months. Subsequent exposure to sliding puzzles in other situations
might lead to irrationally violent behavior.
Tried to figure out what makes this happen for months and failed. For the most
time, I had all desktops almost covered in neatly tiled windows when it
happened, so there should have been no space left to grab + drag a desktop. I
don't remember ever having accidentally dragged a window. Unless I missed
something, there shouldn't be any Desktop-drag-space left on my Desktops.
"Tested" all occurring elements I could think of for potential
"desktop-draggability" (except for tool-tips) and found none.
( If I oversaw a way to turn off Desktop dragging altogether, someone please
point me to it. I have never on purpose dragged a desktop, so in my case that
would be a great workaround. )
