Now that you frame it like that, I thought I'd try and see whether the keyboard shortcuts for navigating through desktops do obey the more than 20 rule, even if Grid and Overview don't work. Turns out they don't. But in the process I just noticed something quite weird: If I go to the settings app, add two more desktops over my twenty ones, apply the settings, then immediately just switch to the KWin Scripts tab (the one above it, or perhaps any other settings tab, actually), and return back, I see there are only twenty. It's as if the settings app itself doesn't understand the concept of more than twenty. >From that insight, I think the problem is somewhere in the settings app, because if it itself doesn't register more than twenty, then of course all else in the system won't see more than twenty either. The settings app is what dictates how the rest of the system sees the settings, doesn't it now? At least, that's how I see it, as a hobby programmer myself. Just to try and carry out some further testing, can you tell me where the settings for workspaces are stored? I know for a fact that all settings are stored as an army of plain text config files under `~/.config` (and some KDE apps (like the titlebar stuff) have their settings stored under `~/.local/share`, too). Perhaps if I sidestepped the settings app and manually modified the configuration of workspaces there by myself, I can very this hypothesis I present? In all cases, it's an honor to help KDE. I really want to try out this hypothesis myself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
