Bug ID: 514248
Summary: Interference with apps running in Wine that create
their own windows
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Apologies for the esotericism and convoluted steps but I don't know how else to
recreate the issue.
Affinity suite, a MS Windows-based drawing program, suffers functionality loss
when running in KDE; being not possible to rearrange the UI as one desires by
dragging panels around, they can undock but redocking is impossible. There are
probably other programs that spawn windows in similar manner with this issue
but this is the only one I know of. The clicking and dragging works fine with
Gnome, so the issue seems to lie with how KWin handles windows.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow the instructions of this Github page to install Affinity suite:
https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux
2. Launch the application
3. Click and drag one of the panels, noticing how they detach but not attach
4. Close the application
5. Run winecfg for the virtual Windows environment for the application
6. Uncheck the option called 'Allow the window manager to control the windows'
7. Repeat steps 2 and 3, but note that now attaching is possible
