Bug ID: 410928
Summary: Don't Present Windows if each window in the group is
on a different monitor
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-present-windows
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rula...@wp.pl
Target Milestone: ---
NOTE WELL: I am not entirely sure that this should be filed against kwin; feel
free to reassign.
SUMMARY
When I click on a taskbar button or icon representing a group of several
windows, I am presented with a UI mode that requires me to choose one of the
windows by clicking it with a mouse. I believe this is redundant if each window
is on a different monitor.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. While using a two-monitor setup and the "icon task bar" panel widget, open
two windows of the same program, each on different monitor. Adjust taskbar
grouping options if necessary to ensure that those windows do get grouped.
2. Bring another window to the top.
3. Click on the task bar icon of the program from step 1 to try bringing it to
the top again.
OBSERVED RESULT
Present Windows mode is entered, requiring me to choose one of the windows by
clicking on it.
EXPECTED RESULT
The windows should just be restored / brought to the top, each on its own
monitor. Activate the one that is on the same monitor as the taskbar involved,
or simply remember the last active window within a group.
Current behavior should still be used if any monitor contains more than one
window from the group.
