Bug ID: 457405
Summary: Plasma 5.25 prevents corner desktop grid & present
windows activation when using Citrix full screen app
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: b...@jeddi.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
With the 5.25.x upgrade in Debian sid (unstable) I've noticed a functionality
change to the way that screen edges are handled.
Previously using the corners to generate an action (show desktop grid, present
windows, etc) would work when using full-screen applications such as Citrix
ICAClient. Since this version upgrade, the corners are not respected / do not
trigger a desktop grid or present windows action.
I use 6 virtual desktops, and dedicate one to the Citrix ICAClient.
The desktop grid / present windows action *does* work as previously on the
other virtual desktops.
Using this corner activation tool to switch between desktops is incredibly
useful in this context, as the virtual desktop shortcuts (eg. ctrl-Fx) are
grabbed by the remote desktop. The fall back option is to navigate to a fall
down menu in the top edge, and then minimise the Citrix desktop window, then I
can navigate between virtual desktops.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Citrix ICAClient Workspace software at
https://www.citrix.com/en-au/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux/receiver-for-linux-latest.html
or similar
2. Connect it to a Citrix end point, and change from 'Windowed' mode to 'Full
screen' mode.
OBSERVED RESULT
Corner activation of compositor / desktop effects should continue to be
respected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Corner activation of compositor / desktop effects are not working.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian with plasma (and co) 5.25.3-1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I appreciate this is a niche product, and non-free software, and just plain
awful, but a) it was working up until 5.25, and b) it may be affecting other
full-screen applications, though c) Citrix remote desktop proprietary binary
doubtless does some fairly unique uglies.
Might be related to regression noted in 442518 but that was for 5.23, and
should be fixed in my release (5.25).
