Bug ID: 461176
Summary: Applications don't prompt to save unsaved work when
logging out on Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: ksmserver
Version: master
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: wayland
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: j...@fastquake.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When logging out of a Wayland session, applications do not display prompts to
save unsaved work before proceeding with logging out.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to a Wayland session
2. Open Kate, type some stuff, do not save it
3. Log out of the Wayland session
OBSERVED RESULT
The session ends and unsaved work is discarded with no prompts to save it first
EXPECTED RESULT
Applications should be able to ask to save work before logging out under
Wayland, like they do under X11.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Graphics platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have been told that this is due to Wayland not having an API to tell
applications that the session is ending. I'm not sure what is done on X11, or
if there are any relevant protocol proposals for Wayland to enable this.
