Hi everyone,
Today I finally was able to upgrade plasma on arch to Qt 6.8.1 where the relevant Qt bug should be patched as per this report. Unfortunately, even after this upgrade and a restart, the bug still seems to be present. Though possibly a few subtle aspects of the bug have changed over the course of a few months, it actually feels just as bad if not very slightly worse than before.
Bug conditions are exactly the same as illustrated earlier, though I additionally note on rare occasions if:
- Screen is filled with windows (let’s say fullscreen terminals on each workspace to avoid touch + desktop issues).
- Rapidly cycling through desktops with 3-finger gestures mostly works, but sometimes “flickers” in and out and fails to render the terminal window for an instant. In these cases, 2 virtual desktops are switched with one gesture instead of 1.
Here’s my specs, note the phantom selection area on the screen (gained by touch events as described earlier, no mouse cursor to be seen → it’s just a touch screen thing).
I will see if I can write a new bug report later on today.
