Bug ID: 466645
Summary: Auroroe window decorations causes "half-size"
graphical corruption
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.2
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

SUMMARY
***
This is a bug that makes window decorations look "half-size" for the lack of a
better word. The window decoration is compressed into 50% of the window width,
while the rest of the 50% is lacking a window decoration. It causes the text to
appear zoomed in or in the wrong position also, depending on the size of the
window.
I spent some time trying to find a way that reproduces this reliably, and for
me, I can reproduce it specially when minimizing the windows first, and then
bringing them back into view and resizing them. Maybe because bringing them out
of view and forcing them to redraw again is somehow helping to trigger the bug.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set window decorations to something with Aurorae - I use "Dezy Blur Dark
Color Aurorae".
2. Create 3-4 windows (I use kitty) and include Firefox since it seems to help
trigger the bug more often.
3. Now minimize all windows by clicking on their minimize button in the window
decoration bar.
4. Bring them back using the Task switcher (Alt-Tab for first one, then the
shortcut to switch window within the same application (i have it on Alt+$).
5. Now start resizing windows and you have a good chance of seeing a few of
them get their window decorations corrupted. Sometimes its just one or a few,
sometimes its all of them. It seems to be a bit random, possibly depending on
what memory has been corrupted.
OBSERVED RESULT
Window decorations gets visually corrupted and look like "half-size" (see
screenshot and video).
EXPECTED RESULT
Windows should not get corrupted into "half-size" (as I call it).
