Bug ID: 461399
Summary: Overview and vertical virtual desktops cause
disconnect between what the user sees and how overview
behaves
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jxftw2...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Enabling vertical virtual desktops will show all desktops as horizontal in the
overview, this would be fine except i can't then scroll between them
horizontally using the three finger gesture. This is mostly usable for a simple
2x2 matrix but any configuration more complicated like that and it will cause
issues.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable overview if not already enabled
2. Enable vertical virtual desktops, possibly make a more complex configuration
too. Like 3 desktops on top and 2 on the bottom.
3. Open overview with meta+w or using the 4 finger gesture
4. use the horizontal 3 finger gesture to scroll between them.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will not be able to scroll between these desktops, you will need to use the
vertical three finger swipe which causes a disconnect between what you see at
the time and how the virtual desktops behave
EXPECTED RESULT
You should be able to scroll through the desktops horizontally the way they are
layed out you while using the overview.
