Bug ID: 482892
Summary: Switching activities also switches active virtual
desktop
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.26
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Activity Switcher
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kram...@kde.org
CC: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
After upgrade to KDE Neon 6.0.0 switching between activities also switches the
active desktop.
My setup has 6 virtual desktops and 3 activities (one for each different
project).
I have my main chat program opened on desktop 1, with special KWin rule to have
it on all activities.
When I get pinged I switch to desktop 1 (via keyboard shortcut), see which
channel it comes from, and then switch to the most appropriate activity (again
via keyboard shortcut).
Until the upgrade to 6.0.0 the activity switch kept me on desktop 1 so I could
continue to read the message(s) and react.
Now it also switches the desktop.
Looked random at first but after a week of using it in that state it seems to
switch to the desktop that I had been on when switching away from that
activity.
Which could have been hours or even days ago and makes no sense in the current
context.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure multiple virtual desktops and activities.
2. Switch to second activity and switch to second virtual desktop
3. Switch to first activity
OBSERVED RESULT
First activity becomes active, virtual desktop gets switched to first one
EXPECTED RESULT
First activity becomes active, virtual desktop stays on current/second one
