Bug#748705: KDE: window-switching: ALT-TAB switching messes up windows
Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:84
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When switching between windows under KDE / plasma, using ALT-TAB, instead of
just bringing the selected window in the foreground, other windows get
messed up too. Imagine 3 active windows on a desktop: A under B under C. If
I now cycle over them, using ALT-TAB by holding ALT and pressing and
releasing TAB repeatedly until I arrive at the window I wish to bring in
the foreground, other windows should stay unaffected. So, if I now want to
switch to window A, B should still stay under C, but this is not always the
case, the behaviour of all other windows on the desktop seems quite
unpredictable. With 5 to 10 windows it can get quite bad: instead of just
bringing one window to the foreground, as was always the case before,
selecting a certain window often destroys the desktop window arrangement
completely.
Thanks
Guennadi
