This seems to be a new feature that came along with a recent update on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, around Plasma 6.1.3. Double clicking the edge of windows now makes them partially maximize in the direction parallel to that edge. Never happened before so either the target zones were enlarged or it’s new.
As a user with mobility issues this is awful behavior. Miss a double click near the edge and the window resizes moving what I want even farther away. And I have to maximize - un-maximize the whole window or drag it way away from the edge just to get it back to the size it should have stayed.
Please tell me how I can turn this off entirely.
type “window behavior” anywhere on the desktop and go to the settings page in the search result.
you should find settings for the actions in there.
Thanks, but I don’t see any settings pertaining to this behavior there. The only mention of double-click is under Titlebar Actions and disabling that does not affect what happens when double clicking window edges.
Am I missing something?
i’m on 5.27, but the tab called Window Actions has as section about Frame Actions using a modifier key (but not double click).
maybe yours is different?
I have that pane, but none of those settings affect the behavior causing me problems. It’s like KDE added new behavior and forgot to add a setting for it.
no idea then, i definitely don’t have that setting on kubuntu
might be a tumbleweed specific thing, maybe their support forums have more info.
