Description Ulrich Beckmann 2016-11-30 17:39:59 CET

Description of problem:
Normally I have all windows maximized. When I move the cursor to the upper left corner of the screen, the background windows are not shown.

This effect is activated by default under System Settings -> Workspace -> Desktop Behaviour -> Screen Edges -> Active Screen Corners and Edges "Present Windows - All Desktops". I did not spot any related error message.

The system is a Sony Vaio E-Series notebook with 17-inch screen. Graphic card: Radeon HD 7550M, kernel driver radeon.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kwin-5.8.3-2.mga6

Best regards,
Ulrich

I noticed that often in the top left corner there's a pixel-wide widget that is actually an emanation from gtk applets from the system tray being not handled properly ( See bug 17592 ). It could be the cause for this.

I had deactivated both mgaapplet and net_applet. Should I then uninstall these applets completely?  I use Networkmanager and Apper applets instead.

Now I configured this effect to the upper edge or the top right corner. Seems that it does not work at all.

I have installed Gnome and XFCE to the same partition. I will wait for the next isos and then create a Plasma only testcase.

The effect still does not work with kwin-5.8.5-2.mga6.

It works however in a fresh installation of Mageia-6-sta2-LiveDVD-Plasma-x86_64-DVD of Jan 6th. I did not change neither mgaapplet nor net_applet. As nobody confirmed this issue, and the parallel installation of different DEs is not my normal usecase, I set the bug as worksforme.
