Bug ID: 470647
Summary: Maximizing a window should un-shade it
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: esperluett...@proton.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When shading a window then enabling/disabling maximize (from right-click menu
or with Meta+PageUp shortcut), the window doesn't un-shade.
Since maximizing a window is about changing its size/geometry (and not only the
position), I think it makes sense to un-shade it to explicitly display its new
size/geometry.
Also, shading a window may be unwanted (like selecting the option from Taskbar
without understanding what it does, on an application that is in background and
hidden by another window), it's may not be easy to find how the un-shade the
window, and maximizing the window may be the first solution for most users (to
"reset" the window).
Note: This is the behaviour in Xfce, enabling/disabling the maximizing of a
window also un-shade it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any (not maximized) window
2. Shade a window (by right-clicking on window top and selecting "More Actions
> Shade")
3. Maximizing the window (Top arrow, or Meta+PageUp if it's still the shortcut)
OBSERVED RESULT
The window fills the screen in width but is still shaded.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window would un-shade, and so, fills the complete screen.
