Bug#837540: kde-plasma-desktop: blank window list when list extends beyond screen dimensions
Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:84
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am using kde-plasma-desktop and I regularly use a lot of Konsole windows. The window
manager lists all of the Konsole windows in one stack off the task bar, but my screen is
big enough for only 33 of these. When I create the 34th Konsole window and minimize it,
the list of Konsole windows off the bottom task bar fails to show the individual windows
(it's simply a large blank area with no individual window information)
so that I am no longer able to select the one I want. However, I can click near
the bottom of the would-be list of windows to open one. If I exit this window so
that I have only 33 such windows, I can again view the individual windows in the list.
I would like some way to be able to know which window I am selecting after I
exceed the screen limit of 33 windows for one application. A scroll bar would
be acceptable. Perhaps better would be to scale down the size of the indivdual items
in the list so that they all fit on the screen. Alternatively, the list could provide
the first (or last) 33 windows that fit so that I have at least some selection
capability.
