Bug ID: 503802
Summary: I spotted that with latest Plasma 6.3.4 (on current
KDE neon) my konsole windows all shrink - so my bug
485273 / session save was resurrected
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: platform-x11-standalone

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
As KDE 6.0 was a mess I created several bug reports - one of them:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485273
was about shrinking konsole windows which I use to work in workstation mode:
8 virtual desks - all with at least 9 konsole windows (TeXing, programming,
editing, Webserver ...).
I used Session Save on X11 - as Wayland is currently not usable - and I just
think that the problem my be that kwin was splitted so the infant Wayland kwin
should use Session Safe via Wayland protocol - which is not even in final
stage.
As in 6.0 absolutely the same ill behaviour was seen and made me crazy - after
many
years of perfect behaviour of KDE 5.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a normal workstation environment like:
8 virtual desks, on each having 9+ konsole windows
all of 80x23 chars size and use session safe
2. Reboot several times - und you see:
3. that no konsole window has 80x23 but less - so your editing
and professinal working is trashed totally
OBSERVED RESULT
Shrinking of all the konsole windows saved by 'session safe' which was
one of the innumeral bugs of KDE 6.0 - and now resurrected again -
just a little more than 2 months after I closed that Bug Report 485273.
This is shocking!
The old bug report has 6.5.0 in it - my fault - which may be 6.2.5 of
start of 2025 when I no longer saw shrinking - and looked several weeks
before closing it to be sure.
And now it is back - and shrinking quite fast as before.
I think it was said a rounding bug - but windows sizes are integers ...
so there is hint of big problems in the programming ...
EXPECTED RESULT
Session save should restore all programs with correct window sizes,
positions etc. - which is a task well working eben with CDE long before
KDE existed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon (24.04 LTS/Noble based; daily updated)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 (latest)
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As this bug was very long lurring in the KDE 6.x.y and was reported by me,
I am really tired about the development process which is one step forward,
two steps back currently.
