Description Cyril Levet 2024-02-24 10:11:18 CET 
Description of problem:
Each time you advance in a menu or sub-menu in kicker (default Mageia menu in Plasma), it opens a new "plasmashell" task in the taskbar. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plasma-workspace-5.93.0-1


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a menu in kicker
Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2024-02-27 21:10:08 CET 
Cannot reproduce. Plasma menus seem to behave normally here.

Are you able to attach a screenshot of what you are reporting?

Mistake on my part: I am on M9, this is about Cauldron.
Screenshot request remains valid.

After discussion upstream, seems related to Bug32890

Good illustration. Interesting that it only shows going one leven down from the main menu; I wonder whether if you went into a lower level menu whether you would get another plasmashell task (I believe you that is what it is!).

"it's X11 only. Works fine on Wayland".
Is this true also for *this* menu problem?

This looks like bleeding edge stuff. Could it suggest that what you tried is more up-to-date than what we have?
 plasma-workspace-5.93.0
 plasma-desktop-5.27.5
Can you say what your OK versions are?

That bug is classified UPSTREAM; does this mean we can classify this bug likewise?

Yes, it does create another plasmashell task if you go deeper on the sub menus.

I think it's X11 only, too. I tested on the same Mageia Cauldron with Wayland and kicker works as expected without creating any "plasmashell" tasks. The KDE team hypothesis so far is :
> It looks like the submenus are being counted as windows for the purpose of

Because menus are considered as windows touching the floating panel, it defloats. 
The two bugs seems linked. But this remains an untested hypothesis.

Yes, it can be classified as upstream. It's the “mother” bug that causes the other one.

Thank you for all these clarifications.

Comment 12 sturmvogel 2024-02-29 17:33:29 CET 
One question: did you test with a fresh user profile to rule out a broken/borked profile?
Comment 13 Cyril Levet 2024-03-01 18:40:32 CET 
I tested with a new user created in Cauldron and the bug remains.

My default user is rather new. I just create a Mageia 9 VM in Virtual Box with one user and immediately update and upgrade to Cauldron.
Comment 14 Cyril Levet 2024-04-04 21:48:37 CEST 
Fixed in Plasma 6.0.3.

Status: UPSTREAM => RESOLVED
