Bug ID: 476172 Summary: Missing selection boxes in Plasma making a lot of UI elements unusable, especially by keyboard since plasma-framework5 5.111.0-1 Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: apri...@posteo.net Target Milestone: --- The latest update of plasma-framework5 from version 5.110.0-1 to 5.111.0-1 on Archlinux creates major artifacts in the Plasma environment which makes it hard to use to unusable in some cases. It produces the following problems: - Globally every kind of selection marking behind objects is gone. f.e. selecting a file on the desktop, the current date in the panel, the selected element in the "start menu" and others. That makes navigating visually with the keyboard impossible. - The "task bar" is completely bugged. Open windows are shown as closed. Closed windows are shown as open. (having either the grey background or not). This makes window management very hard to impossible using the "Icons only task manager" It makes using Plasma as a whole extremely difficult and in some cases impossible to achieve certain tasks. This is why it should be considered critical. The problematic package was identified using system rollbacks. On Arch Linux the workaround to get a working system back is to downgrade the package plasma-framework5 to version 5.110.0-1. (the last working version, 5.111.0-1 does not work anymore: sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/plasma-framework5/plasma-framework5-5.110.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst The problem was probably introduced here: https://kde.org/announcements/frameworks/5/5.111.0/ STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install plasma-frameworks 5.111.0-1 2. Relog into Plasma, but is not necessary on my PC. Directly after upgrading and downgrading the package the problem comes or goes away, depending on upgrading or downgrading. 3. Try selecting objects on the desktop, click on the clock in the "task bar", try to select a problem to launch from the "start menu" by keyboard. OBSERVED RESULT There is no blue selection box, making navigating or using UI elements / getting the current date from the calendar impossible EXPECTED RESULT In all described cases above there should be a blue selection box around Maybe it is something with the Intel iGPU. Would need testing from other people with an AMD or Nvidia GPU.
