Bug ID: 403172
Summary: client geometry can not be changed in
desktopPresenceChanged callback when using the action
menu or virtual desktop grid view
Product: kwin
Version: 5.14.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: scripting
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lingtj...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
desktopPresenceChanged(KWin::Client *client, int desktop) signal does not allow
changing the client geometry when using the action menu or by dragging the
client between virtual desktops in virtual desktop grid view but it does work
correctly when moving clients between virtual desktops using global shortcuts.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open WM console
2. run this small demonstration script
```
workspace.desktopPresenceChanged.connect (function (client)
{
print('current geometry: x=' + client.geometry.x + ', y=' + client.geometry.y
+ ', width=' + client.geometry.width + ', height=' + client.geometry.height);
var geometry = {x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 200};
client.geometry = geometry;
client.opacity = 0.8;
});
```
3. open a terminal
4. resize and move the terminal such that it's x, y, width and height are not
100, 100, 200 and 200
5a. move the terminal to a different virtual desktop by opening the action menu
(default top left corner) and selecting `move to desktop` and move it to any
other virtual desktop
DIFFERENT SCENARIOS
5b. move the terminal to a different virtual desktop by opening the virtual
desktop grid view (default shortcut Ctrl+F8) and then dragging the client to a
different virtual desktop
5c. move the terminal to a different virtual desktop by using any of the global
shortcuts such as `Switch one desktop down`
OBSERVED RESULT
1. if you do step 5a or step 5b you will see that the client does accept the
opacity parameter and takes on an opacity of 0.8 but it does not accept the
geometry of 100, 100, 200, 200
2. if you do step 5c instead of 5a or 5b you will see that the client correctly
accepts the geometry of 100, 100, 200, 200
EXPECTED RESULT
1. expect the client to accept the new geometry supplied just like the opacity
but it ignores the geometry when moving clients between virtual desktops using
the action menu or virtual desktop grid view
