Bug ID: 434621
Summary: Selection of activities over window menu closes upon
change
Product: kwin
Version: 5.21.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: activities
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: christianlu...@web.de
Target Milestone: ---
When opening the window properties (Alt+F3) there is a list of all opened
activities with a checkbox in front of each entry. Once any entry is selected
the complete menu is hidden avoiding and further edits.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two activities A and B and a window only on A
2. Open the window menu and move to the activities on which to show the window
3. Click on B
OBSERVED RESULT
The menu hides directly. When looking, the window is now on both A and B
(potentially "show in all"). This happens if I click on the text part of the
menu entry ("B"), the checkbox or if I use the keyboard to select the menu
entry.
When shown on all activities no checkbox is selected but the radio button next
to "all activities".
EXPECTED RESULT
At least when clicking on the checkbox and using the keyboard I expect the menu
to keep open.
It might be ok if the set of selected activities is first collected (not
directly applied) until the menu loses focus. The user can individually select
the desired activities for a selected window. After everything is set up as
desired, the user can click somewhere else and the menu will hide and kwin can
apply the changes.
That way, the window will not vanish from the current activity when one
accidentally disables the current activity.
When shown on all activities the checkboxes should be all selected (just for
visual representation). This will help when enabling/disabling individual
activities (see above).
I am asking for this feature to simplify moving windows between activities:
when moving the window from A to B (exclusively), I have to add the window to B
first as in the steps above, then redo steps 2+3 to remove activity A from the
list.
