Bug ID: 466127
Summary: Tiling configuration works erratically on cloned
screens
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Custom Tiling
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mz...@o2.pl
CC: notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have two screens - a monitor (the primary screen) and a TV (which clones the
primary screen). When I change the splits in tiling settings dialog, they seem
to be changed not for the primary screen, but the other one. The end result is
that the config changes don't apply. What I mean by this is that when I drag a
window holding Shift, the new splits I've just added aren't there.
Looking looking at kwinrc, I have two tiling sections for each screen:
[Tiling][112a321c-1187-5b40-909d-f3bcef9080fa] - which seems to be TV
[Tiling][8e33597a-6e65-5852-ba3f-f97b7fd8a401] - which is the monitor (primary
screen)
When changing the settings, they get applied to the first section (the TV),
although it's not the primary screen. If I copy the tile settings to the second
section (the monitor) and restart kwin, the new splits appear as intended.
Additionally, the config dialog doesn't seem to update. It only shows changes
after I restart kwin. This might also be related to the issue of settings being
applied to the wrong screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a primary screen and a cloned screen
2. Open the tiling config dialog
3. Add new splits
OBSERVED RESULT
Splits aren't added for the primary screen, but the cloned one
EXPECTED RESULT
The config dialog shows the current (primary) screen and changes are applied to
it
