Description Morgan Leijström 2018-03-08 14:03:30 CET
Plasma have methods to show a grid of all desktops, all windows from all desktops, or all windows from current desktop.

Example: Normally Ctrl+F8 should show a grid of all desktops.

It *may* be confined to some systems running ati GPU.
It is visible with both 
x11-driver-video-ati-7.10.0-1.mga6.src.rpm
x11-driver-video-ati-7.10.0-1.1.mga6.src.rpm which fixed bug 22488

But may be because of other packages. mesa?
Not yet known when it broke, or what update broke it.

Problem got first logged at https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22488#c21
And verified by me on another 64 bit, and a 32 bit system, all mga6.

As Plasma 5.12 is in the works - and hopefully soon shipped as update - i think it would be best to update the systems to that Plasma and related updates (from testing repo) and continue hunting this problem there - if it even exist there.

For those testers who have a system which show this problem, and accept it may brake ;)

Did a full update to Plasma5.12 etc in testing, by issuing

 urpmi --auto-select --searchmedia testing 

Still the same problem :(

Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
