Bug ID: 468787
Summary: Task manager window previews are too big for all to
show, making it very difficult to access all of them.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: r...@alum.mit.edu
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open, say, 35 xterm (or whatever, but that's my use case) windows. In my
case, I have 6 virtual desktops, with the windows distributed in various ways
among them.
2. Set Appearance/Show small window previews when hovering over Tasks
3. Hover over the XTerm task in the task manager
OBSERVED RESULT
I have a 4K screen, but only maybe a dozen or so of the previews show up in the
horizontal list at the bottom of the screen. There's no way to scroll left and
right, so if there's a minimized one somewhere, I have no easy way to find it.
That strip of previews pops down rather quickly, in any event.
EXPECTED RESULT
Some kind of scrollable strip that I can search through to find the window I
want, and perhaps also an option to limit the size of the previews, although
they are useful.
Yes, this is a rather cluttered way of working, but it's how I like to work...
