A few plasma components cache QSGTexture. Those components rely on
texture references going away with QSGNode users. However, with the
current tear down logic, OffscreenQuickView won't destroy any paint
nodes.
Destroy QQuickRenderControl before QQuickWindow to ensure that are no
paint nodes left alive after OffscreenQuickView.

For all the task switchers on my system there is no KCM installed:
```bash
rg 'X-KDE-ParentComponents=(PlasmaXLight|org.kde.breeze.desktop|org.kde.breezedark.desktop|org.kde.breezetwilight.desktop|org.kde.breeze.desktop|org.kde.breezedark.desktop|org.kde.breezetwilight.desktop|org.kde.plasma.mycroft.bigscreen|small_icons|big_icons|compact|text|present_windows|thumbnail_grid|thumbnails|informative)'
```
As the docs state, this is only for buildin effects. Which means it is internal API.
Also I consider the choice of displaying a KCM *or* the preview odd, IMHO the preview
is the most important part.
I stumbled upon this when reviewing the metadata files as part of the preparation
for https://phabricator.kde.org/T14564.
Also this way of plugin loading is discouraged for performance reasons, because all the
plugins from the namespace have to be reopened to get their metadata.
Use standard easing curves in animations. OutCubic for the intro
animation and the InCubic for the outro animation.
Hidden opacity options were removed because I don't think they are
needed anymore. I made the starting opacity 0.4 to make the animation
look closer to what it would have been with an ease-out curve without
realizing it.
The output management test checks the implementation of output
management capabilities in the virtual backend, which is not helpful.
This change replaces it with a more useful test that verifies how
windows are placed after an output change.
Currently, if you move the cursor really fast between two outputs, there
may be stuck cursor on the previous output.
We need to query the old cursor visibility status before updating the
cursor position, otherwise the drm backend may not schedule an update to
move the cursor offscreen.
It's fine to have the animation duration hardcoded to 250ms. The main
issue with reading kscreen effect's config is that it adds inter-effect
dependencies, which is simply not worth the trouble.
The intro and the outro animations are very short and they usually
affect all windows on the screen. Windows have to travel a lot and in
very short time, this doesn't look.
Similar to other windows, this change makes the overview effect use the
out cubic curve for window movements (even though the HIG suggests us
using the InOutCubic easing curve). That way, user will look at
flatter parts of the easing curve more, i.e. the windows would move less
chaotically and simply jump to their target position.
Similar to the WindowHeap, this change makes the overview effect use the
out cubic everywhere else so the intro and the outro animations look
coherent.
Another advantage of the OutCubic easing curve is that it makes the
overview effect look more responsive and subtle.
Currently, the wayland server updates the server side decoration mode,
which is counter-intuitive, because it doesn't cache the last preferred mode.
With ServerSideDecorationInterface::preferredMode(), it can be simpler.
This commit does away with the special handling of the legacy cursor and
makes it be applied directly in DrmPipeline, using the same state as the
atomic cursor and without dirty flags.
Effect loading is already tested using integration tests, for example
the maximize test verifies that the maximize effect is loaded _and_ it
actually does something useful when a window is maximized or restored,
testScriptedEffectLoader only verifies that the effect is loaded, which
is less helpful than what integration tests provide us.
But perhaps the main problem with these tests is that they require us
building a mockverse around them. This litters code with ifdef
preprocessor directives and makes changing such code a living nightmare.
Another problem with these two tests is that they cannot use OpenGL
because it means mocking OpenGL, which we obviously not going to do.
With integration tests, it's not a problem.
The bottom line is that unit tests can be useful but they make life
notoriously difficult when it comes to testing components that depend on
other components.
The cursor being set out-of-band with atomic commits creates problems
because it can create false positive for atomic tests, if the cursor
state gets changed in between an atomic test and its matching commit.
This commit also ports the cursor to a swapchain instead of only one
image. This is not strictly required but may prevent artifacts and
will be needed for future optimisations.
Context properties don't work with QML effects. At the moment, no effect
needs to access the options object, but it makes the QML API consistent.
The workspace is already a singleton type.
The natural geometry can live in a different coordinate space than the
target area. Remove the premature optimization so the cell is properly
placed if the two are in different coordinate spaces.
Currently, the ExpoLayout wants the natural geometry to be in the local
coordinate space because of the default layout mode.
With the natural layout, the ExpoLayout will run a simple loop that
repels overlapping cells.
Once no two items overlap, the items will be scaled down based on their
bounding rectangle and the target area.
The problem is that the ExpoLayout includes the area where items will be
eventually placed when computing the bounding rectangle, which can
result in a sort of a bug where almost all windows are shifted to one
side of the screen, which is not at 0,0.
This change removes the target area from the bounding rect math so the
coordinate space where natural geometry is specified is irrelevant.
It fixes the issue where windows can be shifted to one side of the
screen after adding or removing a window. It also makes the ExpoLayout
API more simpler on the QML side and ensures that no relayouting will be
performed if only the position of the WindowHeap changes.
If the decoration is destroyed before the window is mapped, kwin can
respond with a configure event that has 0x0 size. New tests check that
problematic case.
BUG: 444962
Kwin announces a format with alpha when Dma-Bufs are available, even
when the texture doesn't contain any. This results in clients segfault
when trying to access the buffer assuming a maxsize wrt. the announced
format by ways of dimensions and bpp.
This patch moves the format masking to affect the Dma-Buf transport
only.
If eglSwapBuffers() fails, there won't be a buffer and so we need to
mark the frame as failed. Otherwise, the screen can be frozen.
eglSwapBuffers() can fail if some effect calls makeOpenGLContext()
between RenderBackend::beginFrame() and RenderBackend::endFrame(), which
is the case with the zoom effect. It can set wrong draw surface in
ZoomEffect::recreateTexture()
BUG: 445412
This simplifies focus related logic a bit. Instead of differentiating
between wayland and internal window focus, simply maintain window focus
that works both with regular wayland windows as well as the ones created
by kwin.
The thumbnail that represents the "desktop" in the switcher preview
is taken from the default wallpaper, and it will update automatically
as it changes in future versions of Plasma.
The current one is also added along the other thumbnails as a fallback.
BUG: 309401
FIXED-IN: 5.24
Currently, the test doesn't pass due to Xwayland encountering a protocol
error.
That protocol error occurs because the xdg-output is destroyed before
the wl_output.
This change moves the ownership of the xdg-output to wl-output so they
are destroyed together.
dmabuf-feedback allows the compositor to give the clients better feedback on what
formats and modifiers they should use, and for which device they should allocate.
This way they can reallocate for scanout whenever the compositor tells them to,
which makes direct scanout work for a lot more devices and applications.
KWin handles several types of pointing input devices, e.g. mice,
tablets, etc.
As is, enterEvent and leaveEvent are very ambiguous. This change
prepends "pointer" to those methods to make it explicit that they handle
pointer enter/leave events.
While it could be useful with tiled displays, the isFormatSupported and
supportedModifier functions can be called before prepareModeset, so where
m_formats is still empty. Additionally they're neither in a hot path nor
performance critical.
Whether or not we want to use explicit modifiers for our surfaces doesn't
matter for what format+modifiers drm planes support. This way direct scanout
works by default, without having to explicitly enable modifiers
While a stylus is in proximity we want to show its cursor. In this commit
it only gets shown on move because for a still unknown reason the position
is out of date before the first move event.
BUG: 443921
Ever since the effects were changed to static, each test of the
integration tests includes all the effects. The result of this is that
when doing a debug build each test is now 60MiB or more. With the amount
of tests, this results in ~8 GiB of diskspace used just for KWin's
binary output directory, which is rather excessive.
Since the tests all share a common framework library, we can change that
library to a shared library and that way avoid linking all the effects
into each test.
Most of this is shuffling around some link libraries in the integration
test CMakeLists, however, I needed to export the Xwayland class as it is
used by one of the tests but wasn't exported.
Tracking AbstractOutput properties in Toplevel is not extensible. Since
DecorationItem is the only one who needs Toplevel::screenScale(), make
it track the output device pixel ratio.
systemd takes care of setting and dropping master permissions when
sending PauseDevice and ResumeDevice signals.
When the ResumeDevice signal is received, the relevant drm device should
already have master permissions set up.
On the other hand, when the active property changes, there's still a
chance that systemd haven't granted drm master permissions to us.
For some reason, while touch doesn't have a middle button, the
taphandler for middle click close still triggered on tap. So make it
explicitly only support mouse/pen so we exclude touch events.
BUG: 445755
In case a modeset needs to be performed, the drm backend will test all
pipelines to ensure that new mode won't cause any bandwidth issues on
other outputs, etc.
To do that, it may delay presenting frames. If the new configuration
doesn't work, it needs to notify about failed frames.
However, the relevant code that notifies the RenderLoop about failed
atomic commits doesn't check if there's actually a pending modeset
present.
When switching between VTs, systemd can revoke master permissions from
kwin. To make things even more trickier, kwin can try to present a frame
in that short time span.
For many windows it will be invisible, so there's little point for
creating it ahead of time. Another reason for loading the close button
on demand is that Plasma components are typically heavy.
Currently, MouseArea.doubleClicked doesn't work in QtQuick effects.
Luckily, the overview effect doesn't use it, but it's still worth making
sure that it works as expected regardless of whether it's a kwin effect.
With this change, the OffscreenQuickView will keep track of the last
mouse press event. If the second button press occurs within the mouse
double click interval, the OffscreenQuickView will generate a
QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick event, similar to what QGuiApplication would
normally do when processing window system events.
The current code performed two functions:
- metadata was read async
- the event loop is spun between each effect loading
After we merged static and binary plugins this caused a problem for
things like blur and background contrast where loading an effect
influences what we advertise as supported. We don't want plasmashell to
have to reload all it's SVGs.
All KDE provided binary plugins are statically bundled so querying for
plugins is super duper fast anyway. It's not the same kbuildsycococa
path that it used to be.
The C++ plugins tend to be considerably faster in their constructor than
scripted counterparts, and if anything should be loaded lazily it can be
handled inside the effect.
Set the implicit size of the item to the client frameGeometry size.
This is also more convenient for tabbox usage than accessing it through the
client's property, had a proper notify signal and abstracts it from the
implementation.
It also can be mimicked by the preview ThumbnailItem used in the tabbox KCM,
which has no client property.
The TabBox preview uses a mock WindowThumbnailItem mimicking the
real item, but it was missing the `sourceSize` property, preventing
some effects to be previewed if they use it.
This change moves some pieces of the Overview effect in a new
QuickSceneEffect class that can be useful for other QtQuick based
effects.
The QuickSceneEffect class is meant to deal with rendering bits, input
handling, etc.
As the user of the QuickSceneEffect class, you need to override the
createView() method. The createView() method is invoked by the
QuickSceneEffect when it wants to create a QtQuick scene for the given
screen.
The design of the QuickSceneEffect is based on the Overview effect.
EffectQuickScene is not used strictly by effects, aurorae decorations
use it too to render window decorations.
This change renames the EffectQuickView/Scene to
OffscreenQuickView/Scene to clear up the naming scheme.
Add `tabletToolEvent()` to DecorationEventFilter class so it can handle
tablet events.
Add `tabletToolEvent()` to MoveResizeFilter class to avoid incorrect
titlebar highlight after a window is resized by using a stylus.
Add `tabletToolEvent()` to WindowActionInputFilter class so window focus
can be changed by clicking on the window content area when using a stylus.
Add `update()` to `TabletInputRedirection::tabletToolEvent()` to enable
switching window focus by using a stylus.
BUG: 432104
This prevents flickering behind plasma panels after changing compositing
settings.
If the contrast effect is disabled, the destructor of the ContrastEffect will
start the contrast manager remove timer. When it expires, the contrast manager
global will be removed and it will be finally destroyed after 5s (to work
around the wl_global race condition).
If compositing is toggled, the destructor of the ContrastEffect will start
the remove timer and the constructor of the ContrastEffect will stop the
timer, the contrast manager object will be unaffected.
The contrast effect has no options that could affect the shader, so the
reconfigure() method was removed.
This prevents flickering behind plasma panels after changing compositing
settings.
If the blur effect is disabled, the destructor of the BlurEffect will
start the blur manager remove timer. When it expires, the blur manager
global will be removed and it will be finally destroyed after 5s (to work
around the wl_global race condition).
If compositing is toggled, the destructor of the BlurEffect will start
the remove timer and the constructor of the BlurEffect will stop the
timer, the blur manager object will be unaffected.
The blur effect options don't affect the generated shader code, so the
shader status check was removed in reconfigure().
This enables kwin to get notified when a memory has been lost in the
system, allowing the driver to purge all the memory and have kwin create
new contexts.
This matches what we do on GLX.
The current code for creating the root shared context is very naive and
does not take into account aspects like robustness or versions.
It is not always possible to mix attributes, in particular robustness
meaning we are unable to opt into these features in future contexts.
This refactors everything to use a common path to make all contexts.
In the KPluginSelector we don't have the possibility to set the args for
each KCM. Because of that we use the metadata of the KPluginFactory as a
fallback to read the plugin keyword, which specifies the KCM we want to display.
This requires kcmutils 54b196a9bad88732debe0b49111af4755268f09f, which landed in the last release.
BUG: 445667
The person that added krunner search integration uses vim. It seemed
intuitive to that person that the Escape key should quit the search mode
instead of quitting the effect. But it seems like more intuitive thing
is to actually stop the effect.
BUG: 445708
If the opacity property is set to 0, the item will still receive mouse
events. One either needs to set the enabled or the visible property to
false to ensure that the WindowHeap receives no mouse events.
The reason for setting the opacity to 0 instead of the visible property
to false was that I thought later will nuke the paint node, but it seems
like that's not the case.
BUG: 445707
This is needed to ensure that mouse release events go to the view that
received mouse press events; otherwise some views can get stuck in a
state thinking that button xyz is pressed.
Currently, cursor shape set by QtQuick is not sync'ed, which can be seen
as the pointer not changing its shape to i-beam when hovering the search
field.
Currently, every time you launch the overview effect, QtQuick will go
out and parse QML files. With the overview effect gaining more features
and the code size getting bigger, it takes more time for the overview to
present the first frame after it got triggered.
With this change, the overview effect will keep the ScreenView
QQmlComponent object around that can be used to avoid reparsing qml code
every time the overview effect is launched.
It also ports the Overview effect from de-facto deprecated qml context
to initial properties, which yield slightly better startup times.
BUG: 445666
This allows effects to support touch input.
Unfortunately, Qt's TouchEvents require the full touch point state,
whereas KWin's internal touch handling only deals with one point at a
time. So we need to keep track of the touch state in EffectQuickView and
pass that on to Qt. Additionally, we need a QTouchDevice as lots of Qt
code depends on it.
On my Nvidia machine there was a massive lag exitingthe overview effect.
Hotspot showed it as being in QOpenGLVertexArrayObjectPrivate::destroy.
In this method we clean up some shared objects used in the context when
the context closes.
In order to do this we need the context to be current. If it is not
current Qt currently internally creates a temporary offscreen surface.
To fix this we need to have our context current during destruction,
which includes changing order so it is destroyed before the surface.
With this change, user will be able to press Tab and use Enter, Delete,
and F2 keys to activate, remove, and rename virtual desktops, respectively.

If a window wants to be initially shown in fullscreen mode, it will
issue an xdg_toplevel.set_fullscreen request before the first surface
commit.
If a window wants to be shown in fullscreen mode and there hasn't been
any first surface commit, kwin will cache the request and apply
fullscreen mode when checking window rules in the initialize() function.
On the other hand, window rules are disabled for plasma surfaces. The
motivation behind that was to forbid user from messing with plasma's
surfaces (this change was suggested during redesign of xdg-shell
implementation).
As it turns out, there are cases where plasma may ask to show a window
in fullscreen mode, which also has a plasma surface installed, e.g.
fullscreen application dashboard.
In order to fix the dashboard, this change allows window rules to be
applied to xdg-toplevel windows that also have plasma surfaces installed.
As is, xdg-toplevel surfaces and plasma surfaces are very different in
nature. Adding more quirks to handle plasma surfaces in
XdgToplevelClient is not worth the effort and there are better
alternatives, e.g. layer-shell.
Based on user feedback, it will be great to have krunner functionality
integrated in the overview/present windows effect.
This change ports the overview effect to Milou for search results. With
it, one can search for existing windows or launch new applications.
BUG: 445207
kwin-strip-effect-metadata needs to run on the host. First, one needs to
build it, e.g.
cmake --build build-native --target kwin-strip-effect-metadata
then when cross-compiling, point cmake to the native build directory, e.g.
cmake -DKWIN_HOST_TOOLING=${path}/build-native
This improves plugin loading times. As is, the main issue is the number
of builtin effects and the fact that each has a lot of translated
strings, which combined adds up to noticeable loading times. KWin itself
will never read those translated strings, it only needs two pieces - the
plugin id and whether the plugin is enabled by default.
This change adds a little helper to strip unnecessary info from metadata
files.
Fixes a crash I have with dpms + suspend, which was caused by the udev
event for updating outputs being called before the output got enabled
again. When DrmGpu::updateOutputs got called it removed the crtc from
the inactive output and then disabled the output afterwards. Instead,
only remove crtcs if an output is really disabled.
This also allows to generalize the logic for lease outputs, and could
in the future allow for faster dpms on/off switching.
This unifies frame hooks for OpenGL and QPainter render backends. There
are a couple of reasons why it's a good idea - it provides one mental
framework to start painting a frame, the Compositor will be able to
start and submit frames. The last one is very cool because it gives the
Compositor more power over compositing.
Besides unifying frame hooks, this cleans up a bit the arg naming mess
in endFrame(). As is, "damage" and "damagedRegion" are very confusing
names. "damage" arg has been renamed to "renderedRegion," because that's
what it is. The renderedRegion arg specifies the region that has been
repainted by the Scene. It's different from the damagedRegion as that
one specifies the surface damage, i.e. the difference between the
current and the next frame, while the renderedRegion may include a
region that had to be repainted to repair the back buffer. The main
reason why we need renderedRegion is the X11 platform. On Wayland, it's
unused.
In the future, we will need to extend this api with output layers.
The lanczos filter checks the screen size before rendering in
LanczosFilter::updateOffscreenSurfaces(), so this is not needed.
This simplifies lifetime handling of the lanczos filter, e.g. we
don't need to bother with opengl context anymore, and makes the
scene use less Screens' features.
On Wayland, a window can have subsurfaces. The spec doesn't require the
main surface and its sub-surfaces to have the same scale factor.
Given that Toplevel::bufferScale() makes no sense with Wayland windows,
this change drops it to make code more reasonable and to prevent people
from using Toplevel::bufferScale().
With a persistent vbo, kwin will allocate one big enough buffer and
allocate memory out of it.
In order to prevent overwriting vertex buffer data that is currently
being accessed by the GPU, fences are inserted at the end of frame.
The signaled fences are destroyed after the buffer swap operation, which
seems a bit odd because the just inserted fence most likely won't be
signaled. Perhaps it's a historical artifact?
This change rearranges fence cleanup so it's performed right before
starting a new frame. With it, kwin will most likely re-use the
previously used memory chunk because there will be plenty of time for
the fence to become signaled.
Another motivation behind this change is to make refactoring SceneOpenGL
code easier. As is, m_backend->endFrame() is wrapped in
GLVertexBuffer::endOfFrame() and GLVertexBuffer::framePosted(). With
that, the Compositor can't call m_backend->endFrame(), which can be
desired for cleaning up render backend abstractions.
Currently, when screencasting a window, kwin may render a window into a
temporary offscreen texture, copy that offscreen texture to the dma-buf
render target, and discard the offscreen texture.
Allocating and deallocating offscreen textures is inefficient. Another
issue is that the screencast plugin uses Scene::Window::windowTexture().
It's a blocker for killing scene windows.
This change introduces a base ScreenCastSource type. It allows us to
move away from Scene::Window::windowTexture() and make the dma-buf code
path efficient with applications such as Firefox that utilize
sub-surfaces.
With the ScreenCastSource, kwin can also provide screen cast frames with
arbitrary device pixel ratio.
Like top level clients, apply plasmashell roles to popups as well (limiting them, don't allow dock or desktop roles in poups as they don't make sense)
This makes possible to recognize plasma tooltips as tooltips, treating them in a way closer to X, and makes morphingpopups work on wayland
After user edits the name of a desktop, the search field is no longer
focused. If the user starts typing text, one could expect that it will
be forwarded to the search field without requiring a click.
This change forwards unhandled key events to the search field to ensure
that searching is intuitive.
Since binary effects are installed in their own directory, checking
service type is redundant. Also, KPluginMetaData::serviceTypes() has
been deprecated.
Task: https://phabricator.kde.org/T14483
The ifdefs for have_gbm obfuscate the code unnecessarily - the drm backend
is not a great experience with qpainter, so in practice noone should ship
it without gbm anyways.
The Compositor contains nothing that can potentially get dirty and need
repainting.
As is, the advantages of this move aren't really noticeable, but it
makes sense with multiple scenes.
Backend parts are far from ideal, they can be improved later on as we
progress with the scene redesign.
The main idea behind the render backend is to decouple low level bits
from scenes. The end goal is to make the render backend provide render
targets where the scene can render.
Design-wise, such a split is more flexible than the current state, for
example we could start experimenting with using qtquick (assuming that
the legacy scene is properly encapsulated) or creating multiple scenes,
for example for each output layer, etc.
So far, the RenderBackend class only contains one getter, more stuff will
be moved from the Scene as it makes sense.
The proprietary NVidia driver now supports gbm, which vastly improves the
user experience. For older devices that will not get gbm support dropping
EglStreams will likely not have a big impact as it has several session breaking
issues anyways.
By removing the backend a lot of logic can be simplified, most notably multi-gpu.
The current "Minimize Overlapping" window placement tends to position
windows in locations that seem completely random, typically in a screen
corner. It is doing this because, true to its name, it is trying to
avoid overlapping other windows as much as possible. However in practice
this is rarely helpful. When the user opens a new window, it's because
they want to use it, and positioning the window far from where the
user is likely to be looking is counter-productive. This is even more
true on today's large and wide displays, where placing the window in a
corner may position it entirely outside the user's current field of
vision. We get bug reports about this exact issue for notifications
(which always appear in a corner by default) by users of such screens.
For notifications, this can be justifiable because notifications are
designed to be ignorable; app windows on the other hand, are not.
As a result, I commonly see Plasma users open windows and then
immediately, reflexively grab the window's titlebar and drag it to the
center of the screen. I have seen my wife do this. I have seen every
YouTube reviewer of Plasma do this. I have even see fellow KDE
developers at sprints do this. It seems like quite a common impulse
to want a newly-opened window to appear in the center of the screen,
which is where the user is likely to already be looking.
Thankfully, KWin already has a window placement mode that does this
automatically: "Centered". Accordingly, this commit changes the default
KWin window placement mode from "Minimize Overlapping" to "Centered".
No kconf migration script is provided because this is a better default
for most people in most cases, and existing users are highly likely to
appreciate this change.
The main motivation behind this change is to move management of drm
blobs out of property wrappers in specialized wrappers to simplify state
management with blobs.
Connector mode blobs are created on demand.
When we switch CRTCs it can happen that a CRTC would stay enabled yet has
no connectors anymore. In this case the kernel may reject our atomic commit,
which would cause the modeset to fail. To counteract that, properly disable
unused drm objects
Currently KWin is combining modesets with presentation, which causes problems
when multiple monitors are used and crtcs need to be switched around, because
taking away a CRTC from another output causes the driver to disable the
other output. In order to avoid such problems, delay presentation until
all pipelines are ready to present and then do a modeset with a single atomic
commit. To process the resulting page flip events properly this commit also
ports KWin to page_flip_handler2 and changes how the pageFlipped and
notifyFrameFailed signals are processed.
Hardware constraints limit the number of crtcs and which connector + crtc
combinations can work together. The current code is searching for working
combinations when a hotplug happens but that's not enough, it also needs
to happen when the user enables or disables outputs and when modesets are
done, and the configuration change needs to be applied with a single atomic
commit.
This commit removes the hard dependency of DrmPipeline on crtcs by moving
the pending state of outputs from the drm objects to DrmPipeline itself,
which ensures that it's independent from the set of drm objects currently
used. It also changes requests from KScreen to be applied truly atomically.
The GlStrictBinding flag indicates whether it's okay not to re-bind the X11
pixmap to the OpenGL surface texture if the corresponding window is damaged.
It doesn't really affect the SceneOpenGL, only low level backend stuff.
This ensures that the window will have correct geometry if a maximized
window changes preferred decoration mode. X11Client does something
similar, see X11Client::updateShape().
In hindsight, perhaps, AbstractClient::{create,destroy}Decoration() must
preserve the old frame geometry, but it's not clear how to do that
because it requires decoration updates to be truly async, otherwise
there will be ugly flickering.
Currently, the scene owns the renderer, which puts more
responsibilities on the scene other than painting windows and it also
puts some limitations on what we can do, for example, there can be only
one scene, etc.
This change decouples the scene and the renderer so the scene is more
swappable.
Scenes are no longer implemented as plugins because opengl backend
and scene creation needs to be wrapped in opengl safety points. We
could still create the render backend and then go through the list
of scene plugins, but accessing concrete scene implementation is
much much simpler. Besides that, having scenes implemented as plugins
is not worthwhile because there are only two scenes and each contributes
very small amount of binary size. On the other hand, we still need to
take into account how many times kwin accesses the hard drive to load
plugins in order to function as expected.
This allows using base opengl backends in libkwin, which can be useful
later on for the purpose of moving the ownership of render backends from
the Scene class to the Compositor class.
It has been disabled with Mesa for almost half a decade due to false
positives and even if it weren't disabled, it contributes to the startup
time.
The commit message that added the self test doesn't explain why it was
added, but if it was added to detect unstable drivers, it's not worth it.
With an opaque fullscreen window we can be sure that items under it don't
actually require us to repaint. This should yield some small efficiency
improvements and resolves stutter with adaptive sync.
BUG: 443872
FIXED-IN: 5.23.3
Windows in workspace.clientList() are sorted in the map order. This
means that the minimize all script will try to activate the last mapped
window when unminimizing windows, which is a bit annoying.
This change ensures that the minimize all script doesn't activate wrong
window by minimizing and unminimizing windows in the stacking order.
It's not a bullet-proof solution though, but it should produce good
enough results.
This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
This ports the nested wayland platform plugin to the InputDevice
abstractions.
Some global handling logic has been simplified to make porting more
straightforward.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare input abstractions
for virtual input devices so the wl_seat can properly advertise caps or
the cursor getting properly mapped/unmapped when a fake pointer is
added/removed on a system without a hardware mouse connected.
With this, there are three abstractions - InputDevice, InputBackend, and
InputRedirection.
An InputDevice represents an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a
tablet, etc. The InputBackend class notifies the InputRedirection about
(dis-)connected devices. The InputRedirection manages the input devices.
Such design allows to unify the event flow for real and virtual input
devices.
There can be several input backends active. For example, the libinput
backend and an input backend that provides virtual input devices, e.g.
libeis or org_kde_kwin_fake_input.
If an output is disconnected, the Workspace will update the
Toplevel.output property for all windows that are on that output, then
it will call AbstractClient::checkWorkspacePosition() to fix window
position.
That may result in some windows partially sticking outside visible area
because AbstractClient::checkWorkspacePosition() has no idea what output
the window was.
This change addresses that problem by delaying updating the
Toplevel.output property so AbstractClient::checkWorkspacePosition()
could pick better window placement.
The role of enabledByDefaultMethod was misinterpreted. It exists only
for kcms so they can display undetermined state. EnabledByDefault should
still be set to a valid value.
Currently, if an output is hotplugged, all windows will be scrambled,
which is highly annoying.
With this change, windows will stick to their outputs if an output has
been connected or disconnected.

BUG: 443698
Currently, AbstractClient::geometryRestore() is abused to put windows
back on their original screen. It makes window placement more complex
and it breaks restoring initially maximized windows.
After the decoration is destroyed, we need to resize XdgToplevelClient
to ensure that the scheduled configure event will have correct size.
As is, xdg-toplevel configure events are delayed. When it's actually the
time to send a configure event, XdgToplevelClient will compute the
requested client size from the moveResizeGeometry().
If the moveResizeGeometry() still includes window decorations, the
window will get bigger.
BUG: 444119
For optimization purposes, kwin will ignore repaint regions scheduled by
invisible windows, e.g. hidden docks, minimized windows, etc.
The problem is that it sort of breaks w->addRepaintFull(). If a lot of
animation frames are dropped, for example due to heavy cpu load, the
sliding popups animation can jump from the middle of animation right up
to the end. It will schedule a repaint but it will be ignored.
In order to work around that issue, this change makes the sliding popups
effect schedule workspace repaints in postPaintScreen() to ensure that
the Scene will always repaint dirty regions.
Hopefully, this should fix bugs where auto-hide panels sometimes flicker
on Wayland.
BUG: 444502
Without spacing it is not immediately evident where a doc comment
ends and a new declaration begins. Adding a line of whitespace
makes everything more readable and easier to scan quickly.
Currently, input events can flow directly to input device handlers and
sometimes they go through the InputRedirection, which simply forwards
them to the corresponding input device handler.
In case the user has just the one display but they don't want to show it
in their main workspace when sharing video, allow creating a virtual
display.
This also will allow using remote devices as support displays.
The WindowThumbnail item uses the GLTexture class. In order to destroy
the thumbnail texture, the item will schedule a destroy job.
This means that the GLTexture can be alive during or after graphics
reset.
On the other hand, as an implementation detail, GLTexture::clear() may
allocate a framebuffer object, which is going to be destroyed together
with the last texture.
Given that window thumbnail textures can be still alive after a graphics
reset and the fact that GLTexturePrivate::s_fbo gets destroyed when the
last texture is destroyed, kwin can end up trying to clear a decoration
texture with now defunct s_fbo.
Since the old old s_fbo is inert, the glBindFramebuffer() function will
fail and the glClear() operation will affect the default framebuffer,
thus leading to black flickering visual artifacts.
In order to fix that issue, this change makes GLTexture destroy s_fbo
unconditionally in GLTexturePrivate::cleanup() which is called whenever
OpenGL stuff is about to tear down, e.g. due to graphics reset, etc.
BUG: 443951
Without this there can be a mismatch between what clients expect and what
KWin actually uses, causing for example stutter in video players.
BUG: 444303
FIXED-IN: 5.23.2
InputDeviceHandler keeps track of which client has focus, and whether
the decoration or main window has focus.
Should the decoration get destroyed whilst the decoration has focus we
don't update correctly. This can happen when
"BorderlessMaximizedWindows" is set, or if you use key presses whilst
above the decoration.
cleanupDecoration (which is an odd name) is called whenever a decoration
gains or loses focus. Here we can connect for the decoration destruction
and force a focus change.
BUG: 411884
The screen count can be retrieved by checking the number of items in the
EffectHandler.screens property.
The replacement for the numberScreensChanged signal are the screenAdded
and the screenRemoved signals.
The main motivation behind this change is to clean up the screens api
and reduce the number of usages of the Screens class.
This provides a way to create, destroy, and rename virtual desktops in
the overview effect as well as switch between desktops.
The mechanics of switching between virtual desktops can be revisited
later though.
This can be useful for QML scripts that deal with virtual desktops.
The virtual desktop model keeps a copy of virtual desktop objects to
avoid hitting asserts in QAbstractItemModel (it has some asserts to
ensure that indices passed to beginInsertRows() or beginRemoveRows()
make sense).
When we're adding the output to the EglGbmBackend pipelines aren't necessarily
setup yet and are thus missing the modifier list. As creating the gbm surface
immediately is useless anyways, delay that until we need it, where the modifier
list is available.
First we check to see if the color scheme has header colors, and if it
doesn't, we turn around and ask for them anyway, relying on implicit
behavior in kcolorscheme that falls back to Window colors when Header
colors are requested but are not present. Instead, let's just ask for
Window colors to avoid the run-around and stop relying on implicit
behavior.
Currently, idle timers are not restarted on user input which triggers
the lockscreen even though the user is active at computer.
This change fixes that by making sure that idle timers are restarted
whenever SeatInterface's timestamp changes, i.e. user moves the pointer
or presses a key, etc.
Linking builtin effects against KCMs is really awkward. This change
decouples builtin effects from KCMs that use EffectsModel.
In order to discover builtin effects, metadata files are installed in
kwin's data dir, which will be subsequently read by EffectsModel.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare kwin for importing
kwayland-server code in libkwin.
As is, builtin effects are linked with libkwin. Some builtin effects
have wayland specific code. If we move wayland stuff in libkwin, there's
going to be a circular dependency between kwin4_effect_builtins and
libkwin targets.
This change intends to break that dependency by linking builtin effects
to kwin executable.
The main issue with that is that EffectLoader would need to discover the
effects indirectly. QStaticPlugin is used for that purpose.
Besides breaking the cyclic dependency, it makes builtin effects use the
same plugin infrastructure in libkwineffects that external effects use.
Metadata in src/effects/effect_builtins.cpp was converted in a list of
python dictionaries, which was fed to a python script that generated
main.cpp and metadata.json files.
As is, libkwineffects doesn't use any specific apis in kwayland-server,
it simply "forwards" wayland display and surfaces from libkwin. Given
that, there is no need to link libkwineffects with kwayland-server. If
an effect needs to access wayland specific stuff, it can link explicitly
against kwayland-server.
The main motivation behind this change is to further loosen up
dependencies between various kwin components and kwayland-server so the
latter can be moved back to kwin.
Before attempting to create scenes, kwin will redirect windows but if
the opengl scene can't be created, it won't unredirect windows, which
seems to cause issues on aarch64.
BUG: 443953
API-wise it's odd to require absolute position with relative pointer
moves.
This cleans up some of InputRedirection code by making it simply forward
pointer input events from input devices to the pointer input device
handler, which knows better what to do with the delta value.
The pointer input device handler will compute the absolute position based
on the specified delta value, but it could also do something else, e.g.
not move the pointer at all if it's locked, etc.
When geometry updates are blocked, the output doesn't get updated. This
breaks Workspace::clientArea() overload that takes only the window.
Previously, clientArea() would look up the output where the window is
every time it's called, so the fact that the screen id or AbstractOutput
is unsynchronized with the frame geometry was irrelevant.
This change restores the old behavior as 5.23 is affected by the
output() being out of sync with the frameGeometry(). Specifically, when
kwin starts managing an X11 window, it will block geometry updates,
setup the window, e.g. make it fullscreen, and unblock geometry updates.
Since Workspace::clientArea(clientArea, Toplevel) uses the output(),
X11Client::setFullScreen() will most likely put the X11 window at a
wrong output if it's called inside X11Client::manage().
BUG: 443787
AbstractEglBackend includes option.h, which includes main.h, which
includes QApplication. Since SceneOpenGLBackend doesn't link against
Qt::Widgets, kwin fails to build on Gentoo, but not on other distros
for some reason...
Abstract clients tolerate passing the shaded window geometry to
moveResize().
But the main issue with applyWindowRules() is that it uses the current
frame geometry even though it calls moveResize(). It's not a big deal
but it's error prone.
This change ports applyWindowRules() to the move resize geometry, which
makes code more straightforward and ensures that kwin uses right
geometry type with moveResize().
X11Client tolerates passing shaded geometry to moveResize() and in many
cases kwin already does that.
Another issue is that this doesn't align well with new async geometry
handling abstractions. pos() can't be used because it corresponds to the
current frame position.
We can safely pass the last move resize geometry. It simplifies code a
bit and makes sure that everything works as expected with the move
resize geometry.
Currently, adjustedSize() does two things - it computes and constrains
the natural size of the window.
In many places where adjustedSize() is used, the natural size doesn't
need to be constrained and in some it's actually undesired because
AbstractClient::constrainClientSize() doesn't allow the client size to
be 0x0, which can happen when dealing with a client that has no buffer
committed yet.
This change replaces adjustedSize() with implicitSize(), which simply
calculates the natural frame size based on the current client size.
If the frame size needs to be constrained, for example during
interactive move-resize, use constrainFrameSize() or if you need to
constrain the client size - constrainClientSize().
Trying to reconstrain the geometry after applying rules is unnecessary
because if the geometry is forced using a rule, resizeWithChecks()
should not change it; if the window is maximized or has entered fullscreen
mode, window gravity is irrelevant. If the window is shaded, this
resizeWithChecks() is not needed.
This change simplifies AbstractClient::applyWindowRules(), which allows
to split adjustedSize() to further simplify geometry handling.
Prefer hiding/showing the panel (i.e. the window) when not a touch event
than stopping to make the inputmethod active.
This way we remain compatible with non-virtualkeyboard inputmethods.
The bounding rect of an item is in the item-local coordinate space. If
the item is moved, its bounding rect won't change, but the parent's
bounding rect, may change.
BUG: 443756
AbstractClient::constrainClientSize() forces the minimum client size of
1x1.
If AbstractClient::adjustedSize() is called before the XdgToplevelClient
is mapped, it will return 1x1 rather than 0x0 as expected, which will
confuse
QSize s = adjustedSize();
if (s != size() && s.isValid())
resizeWithChecks(s);
in AbstractClient::applyWindowRules(). Since 1x1 is different from 0x0,
the xdg-toplevel surface is going to be resized to 1x1.
BUG: 443705
Whether relative pointers are supported doesn't depend on the input
backend. This change moves the instantiation of the extension to the
WaylandServer class to make code more consistent.
With the LEDs enum being defined in kwinglobals.h, wayland_server.h
won't need to include keyboard_input.h, which is good for compilation
times and wayland_server.h will drag less stuff, e.g. QtWidgets (input.h
includes QAction)
Currently, cpp source files are included partially in effect sub-folders
and src/effects/CMakeLists.txt, which is really confusing and hard to
follow.
With this change, effect targets will be defined in their own subfolders.
This makes build files more straightforward.
Effect sub-targets are eventually merged into a monolithic
kwin4_effect_builtins target.
Another reason for modularizing builtin effects is that no two effects
can generate moc files with the same name atm even though they are in
different sub-folders. This can be potentially useful in the future, e.g.
making effects static plugins in order to decouple builtin effects from
libkwin (every effect subfolder would need a main.cpp or plugin.cpp file,
which will include the associated moc file).
The GLTexture class is forward declared and the ShowFpsEffect class has
a QScopedPointer<GLTexture> field. We either need to include the
kwinglutils.h header file or add a destructor that does nothing and
define it in the cpp file, where kwinglutils.h is included.
At the moment we'll be setting the YInverted setting, but in practice
that won't have any effect as it only changes the render matrix and
we'll end up streaming inverted textures.
This change addresses it by rendering it into another texture first to
resolve this situation and then download that new texture instead.
The English word "pack" is not really the correct word for these
actions, and does not succeed in communicating what they will do. Since
the actions simply move the active window as far as it will go in the
specified direction, the actions can be renamed to say that instead.
Also rename the action names in the code to match their new UI text for
clarity.
With lv3:ralt_alt ("Right Alt never chooses 3rd level") option set, we
get more layouts from libxkbcommon than it was configured, see:
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/262
It might be correct lib's behavior, still.
The extra layouts are redundant, so we strip them out from usual usage.
BUG: 440027
This change merges the two OpenGL backends into one making the current
default of GLCore the overall default. It becomes the first context to
try to create. If it fails, it will automatically fall back to the
(previous) OpenGL 2 backend.
Reasoning: the differentiation of OpenGL 2 and 3 is a very technical one
and hard to understand for users. It is not obvious which one is better
or should be used. This results in many user discussions like "Which
backend to use?"
Back when the OpenGL 3 backend was introduced the dedicated feature made
sense. It was a new code base using new driver features. Nowadays the
code base in KWin is robust and mature and so are the drivers. A driver
advertising support for OpenGL 3 will support OpenGL 3. We don't have to
plan for driver breakage in this area any more.
Also our code evolved through the context attribute builder which gives
us the possibility to more easily fall back in case we cannot create the
context. Thus the need to select the backend is not so important as it
used to be when the feature got introduced.
If a user still wants to force OpenGL2, it is still possible by setting
the appropriate environment variables like MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE.
This change brings the improvement that the backend selection is now
completely removed from the compositing KCM.
Currently, the pointer is moved to the center of the workspace. However,
on a multi-monitor setup, the workspace center may not be the same as
the center of the output it's on. That's the case with my setup -
1920x1080, 1920x1080, 1080x1920 (the monitors are laid out in a row from
left to right).
This change improves the default placement of the pointer by actually
moving it to the center of the screen that contains the workspace center
so the pointer doesn't end up at some "random" position from the user's
point of view.
Edge geometry has width and height, so we need the correction for
approach geometry of bottom and right corners.
The other edges are fixed as well.
BUG: 442973
On X11, there are four input models. With some input models, it's okay
if the window manager calls XSetInputFocus(), with others, the wm has to
ask the client to make a XSetInputFocus() request.
If kwin wants a client to take input focus, kwin will add the client
to the should_get_focus list, which contains all the windows that
are about to get input focus. Clients are popped from the list upon
receiving FOCUS_IN events.
A client will be added to the should_get_focus list even if kwin thinks
that the client already has input focus because communication between
the wm and xorg is async, anything can happen with input focus in meanwhile.
On the other hand, the wm may sometimes focus the null window if no
window should contain the input focus. The issue is that the
should_get_focus list is not cleaned up in that case, which can lead to
Workspace::mostRecentlyActivatedClient() returning wrong client and
possibly other async related issues.
We don't have such madness on Wayland as the compositor is in charge of
handling input focus.
This change makes Workspace::focusToNull() clear the should_get_focus,
which is reasonable. We need to deactivate "in-flight" focus requests.
This also fixes the bug where fullscreen Wayland windows don't go above
docks and panels due to Workspace::mostRecentlyActivatedClient() returning
bad client.

BUG: 395919
Currently, kwin crashes at shutdown because the idle poller plugin is unloaded when exit handlers are run, after the waylandServer() is destroyed. This results in null dereferencing.
BUG: 443268
Xwayland will re-create the wl_surface object if the X11 window is
unmapped and mapped. That, and the fact that the order in which the
WL_SURFACE_ID client message event is received and the wl_surface object
is created is undefined can cause the following bug:
* WL_SURFACE_ID is received
* the old wl_surface object is destroyed, m_surfaceId is reset to 0
* new wl_surface is created but because m_surfaceId is 0, it won't be
associated with the x11 window
This change ensures that kwin will associate the wl_surface with x11
window by making it not reset cached surface id when the old wl_surface
is destroyed.
However, we cannot leave m_surfaceId as is because wayland aggressively
re-uses object ids so kwin can associate wrong surface with x11 window.
To prevent that, this change also makes Toplevel::setSurface() reset
cached surface id.
CCBUG: 442936
CCBUG: 426069
It's not necessary, the placeholder output already gets created in DrmBackend::removeOutput
if necessary. More improtantly it's missing the check for shutdown, which
may cause issues if the computer is turned off while no outputs are connected.
clientArea() was changed to forbid "-1" screen ids, but it seems like
the thumbnail aside effect can pass it to refer to the active screen.
This change makes the thumbnail aside effect handle "-1" screen id case
explicitly. It will be also useful for EffectScreen transition.
BUG: 443166
If the virtual desktops rule is created, only the last virtual desktop
the window is on is going to be checked.
With this, all virtual desktops that the window is currently on will be
checked.
Technically, it's an api breaking change, but the window rules kcm is
the primary user of queryWindowInfo() so I don't think it's a big deal.
KPluginMetaData::findPlugins only returns valid json metdata, the previous
check was accidentally kept for the condition that the plugin provides a theme engine.

Blobs are not reference counted if used by other drm master, if kwin
re-uses a deleted blob in an atomic commit, it will fail. For example,
on my computer, this happens when kwin starts after xorg.

is not fatal but it's strange to do so.

ksmserver provides the backing window (the hidden black one) for the
lockscreen. We don't want to animate this fading out.
It no longer provides the logout prompt since several plasma releases.
DrmGpu::updateOutputs is now changing the state of some drm properties
without changing the fitting output state (namely RenderLoop inhibition)
which can lead to rendering being inhibited indefinitely in some cases
Software-based clipping is naive. It maps the clip region from the
global screen coordinates and intersects it with window quads. If the
window is transformed, the quads won't be clipped as expected.
Unfortunately, the OpenGL scene enables software-based geometry clipping
if the screen transformed. It's not clear why it does so, perhaps as a
performance optimization? Either way, this produces incorrect results
when the screen is scaled.
BUG: 440940
This makes ExpoLayout easier to maintain. As is, the main issue with it
is the number of layout algorithms.
With this, the ExpoLayout is going to have two layout algorithms - one is
very simple and the other not so.
Startup code in plasmashell was changed so xsetroot is not called
anymore, which is sort of fine.
Unfortunately (or not?), it exposed a bug in kwin. Cursor::x11Cursor()
only works in the standalone X11 session.
On Wayland, Cursor::x11Cursor() will return XCB_NONE which results in
seeing cross cursor when there should be arrow cursor.
This change moves xcb_cursor_t look up code from X11Cursor to the base
Cursor class. In hindsight, I would like to introduce a window manager
class where the xcb cursor and other x11 specific code can be moved in
the future for better encapsulation of platform-specific code.
CCBUG: 442539
For some reason, layers are change after applying Show Desktop effect, so
we will have AboveLayer for our popups and Desktop, and NotificationLayer
for Dock which hides us.
Also, OSD and critical notifications were always hidden by our popups.
This patch solves both the issues.
Usual notifications will still be hidden, but hopefully it's not a big
issue.
BUG: 442605
reinterpret_cast<>() will fail if the types we cast from and to have
mismatching sizes.
Unfortunately, there are platforms that have Window and
EGLNativeWindowType of different size. This results in compilation
errors.
In order to work around those problematic platforms, this change
replaces reinterpret_cast cast with a c style cast.
EffectQuickView is used by Aurorae. As long as Aurorae decorations are
rendered by kwin, it's not a problem. However, kde-gtk-config kded
module can also render them. This creates a problem. If effects object
is not created, accessing any of its getters or setters will result in a
segmentation fault.
This change rewrites the share context check so the effects object is
not accessed anymore.
One could argue that kde-gtk-config has to provide a dummy EffectsHandler
but it doesn't use effects and libkwineffects is not a dependency of
KDecoration2. So, providing a dummy EffectsHandler makes no sense.
In hindsight, we need to revisit the usage of EffectQuickView in Aurorae
as accessing the EffectsHandler in EffectQuickView is a totally valid
usecase and integration of QOpenGLContext.

With per-screen rendering, the projection matrix is no longer created
with the workspace geometry, i.e. all screen geometries united, so the

GLRenderTarget::virtualScreenGeometry() can be used to query the rect
that was used to create the projection matrix.
BUG: 442770
KMS can only ever have one frame pending at the moment. If we
update the outputs while a pageflip is still pending on any output
the atomic commit will fail with EBUSY, which both invalidates
the testing for output configuration and makes applying the wanted
configuration fail.
This can be removed again once KMS gains the ability to do mailbox
presentation; that will likely still take a while though.
BUG: 442677
Currently, data from client buffer EGLStream is copied to a surface
texture. An fbo is used for that purpose. The main issue with it is that
it doesn't restore the old framebuffer binding.
The surface texture can be updated in the middle of a compositing cycle.
If the framebuffer binding is not restored, any window that must be
rendered in an offscreen texture won't be rendered to the offscreen
texture.
This change makes EglStreamSurfaceTextureWayland restore the fbo binding
so the DeformEffect and software screen rotation work as expected with
the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
BUG: 442697
This makes the compositingPossible() output more elaborative,
and adjusts their priorities to qCWarning.
I thought about dropping the "Compositing is not possible"
(qCCritical) message. It's not critical for X11 and Wayland
depends on OpenGL. OTOH it's from a different component. So in
the end I settled for qCWarning again; there is no real way
to know, if the platform will consider this a critical problem
(and eventually abort).
Then I saw X11StandalonePlatform::compositingNotPossibleReason,
which has more user friendly, QT Richtext / HTML encoded output,
but this seems overkill for the terminal; now I would like to
know, where this is actually used...
While at it report "manually" suspended compositing via qCInfo
instead of qCDebug.
After updating my Debian buster to bullseye, I noticed missing
shadows / composite for KDE, which made overlapping windows hard
to recognize.
.xsession-errors just had "kwin_core: Compositing is not possible".
Using the suggested QT_LOGGING_RULES="kwin_*.debug=true" didn't
provide any more clues; nothing I tried did.
Eventually I ended reading the kwin source and found, that
disabled composite via kwinrc :: [Compositing] :: OpenGLIsUnsafe
was not reported.
IMHO all these disabling cases should use qCCritical(KWIN_CORE),
like the "Compositing is not possible" message, but for the time
being, this simply logs the OpenGLIsUnsafe reason, just like all
the others.
With the recent AbstractOutput changes, Workspace::clientArea() overload
that takes only the window and no additional output was changed to
return clientArea(opt, window, window->output());
prior to that, it had been looking up the output at the center of the
frame geometry.
As it turns out, AbstractOutput::sendToOutput() blocks geometry updates,
which in its turn means that Toplevel::output() will be updated only
after geometry updates are unblocked. For the most part, it's not a big
deal until you need to use Workspace::clientArea(opt, const Toplevel*)
Since the output won't be updated until geometry updates are unblocked,
clientArea(opt, const Toplevel *) may return outdated info.
One could argue that we just simply need to update m_output similar to
m_frameGeometry when geometry updates are blocked, but... it's not going
to work on wayland! On Wayland, GeometryUpdatesBlocker is totally
unnecessary. Even if a window is resized, m_frameGeometry will be left
unchanged until the client repaints the window.
Instead, one need to pass the AbstractOutput to clientArea() if it's
important.
This change makes X11Client::changeMaximize() query the MaximizeArea of
the output containing the center of the move resize geometry, similar to
what the XdgToplevelClient does.
BUG: 442534
There are some unresolved issues where driving outputs can fail because

The stored geometry is irrelevant in the window is maximized.
This is especially relevant if we:

* rotate the display (then it looks ok as it was already addressed)
* then remove the keyboard.
At that point we want to reset to the available area rather than the
previous.

b38bb416 introduced flicker when restarting compositing because the
DrmGpu::findWorkingCombination method usually creates new buffers for
the commit, without rendering into them. Instead of that, re-use
existing buffers where possible
The configs returned by eglChooseConfig are sorted from highest to lowest buffer sizes.
Filter the configs to find a suitable candidate that matches the requested attributes of the surface.
This fixes the corrupted Aurorae window decorations on Wayland with the proprietary Nvidia driver.
Conceptually, a configure event inherits its parent's state and adds
some of its own. This allows the compositor to skip intermediate
configure events in ack_configure handler and jump to the last one.
Currently, the only field that XdgSurfaceConfigure objects need to
inherit is flags. The geometry info and window states are filled in by
role commit implementations to their latest values.
XdgSurfaceConfigure::flags indicates if the configure event moves the
window. This flag is important to resolve conflicts between geometry
updates initiated by the user and the ones that are made in response to
acknowledged configure events, e.g. after maximizing the window, etc.
(effectively, if the user moves a window, kwin will cancel scheduled
moves in configure events)
If configure flags are not inherited, we can end up with the following
case:
* configure event A (flags: {position})
* configure event B (flags: {})
If the client acknowledges configure event B, kwin will skip configure
event A, and thus it won't move the window to the right place. This is
the root cause of fullscreen mode misbehaving with apps such as google
chrome.
discardPixmap() increases the reference counter, but there's no matching
place where the ref count is decreased, which results in the previous
pixmap not being released even if it's not needed anymore.
Instead of setting pipelines one by one, use DrmGpu::updateOutputs to
set all the outputs on a GPU with a single atomic commit. This makes
the switch both faster, more reliable and in case the other drm master
changes the output configuration, prevents blanking.
eglCreateWindowSurface() wants a Window (unsigned long), but with
EGL_NO_PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_TYPES, EGLNativeWindowType is defined as an
opaque pointer, i.e. void*.

At the moment we were checking for size difference between the buffers
which works for rotation but not for flipped or up-side down screens.
This changes how we check it by comparing the effective transform vs the

Do not discard a shortcut immediately when it is already registered
in KGlobalAccel, because there could be possible dangling shortcuts
if they weren't properly cleaned-up (ex. after a crash).
Instead we delay the check for conflicts with other client shortcuts

QSGImageNode ignores QSGTexture's filter, one has to specify it using

In hindsight, we need to figure out how to integrate the lanczos filter

BUG: 441709
If the buffer size changes after creating or destroying the decoration,
the surface item will discard the pixmap.
If the buffer size remains the same, we can continue using old pixmap.
The current implementation sometimes will leave the screens unusable,
therefore KWIN_DRM_SW_ROTATIONS_ONLY=1 is default.
Use KWIN_DRM_SW_ROTATIONS_ONLY=0 to test hardware DRM operations.
xcb_send_event always copies 32 bytes, so we have to pad all xcb_*_event_t
to 32 bytes to avoid leaking uninitialized stack memory. I found this
problem while running kwin_x11 on a CHERI-RISC-V system (which has bounded
pointers). The xcb_send_event() implementation has a memcpy() that was
copying 32 bytes but the event passed was a bounded to 28 bytes, so this
resulted in a run-time exception in X11Client::sendClientMessage().
The same problem exists in Selection::sendSelectionNotify(), but this time
we could end up copying up to 8 bytes since xcb_selection_notify_event_t
is only 24 bytes.
This disclosure of uninitialized data could in theory have a security
impact if it leaks a pointer value (e.g. a return address) as part of an
exploit chain that needs to bypass ASLR. However, the selection notify
events go directly to the XServer and you most likely already have a
serious problem if an attacker has full control over the XServer. It is
possible that the configure notify events go directly to an untrusted
client, but even if they do this leak is not directly exploitable.

An AbstractDragTarget is introduced. This contains either the DataDevice we are
dragging to or an Xwl bridge.
We set this on Seat along with the active surface.
In future this also allows getting rid of the move filter.
If a virtual desktop has empty name, kwin is going to end up in an
infinite cycle where VirtualDesktopManager::save() updates the
_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES property and then in the next event loop cycle,
RootInfoFilter::filter() is going to call VirtualDesktopManager::save()
because the _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES property has been changed.
This regression has showed up just now because some parts of kwin used
to increase virtual desktop count to create new desktops. Recently, that
code was ported to VirtualDesktopManager::createVirtualDesktop().
The main difference between createVirtualDesktop() and setCount() is
that the latter will set the desktop name to "Desktop N", the former
will use user-specified name.
If the user-specified name is empty, the createVirtualDesktop() method
should assign "Desktop N" name to the virtual desktop according to the
docs. However, it's not the case and this change addresses that.
Not all combinations of connectors, crtcs and planes will work
on all hardware, so we need to test the pipelines before using
them.
BUG: 433107
CCBUG: 435265
In order to accomodate crtc or primary plane changes on outputs we
need to dynamically recreate rendering resources with EglStreams as
the stream is tied to the crtc or plane currently in use.
Instead of using setTransformInternal directly, have DrmOutput
set it in updateTransform, like with the other setters. Also use
updateTransform instead of setTransformInternal in DrmBackend, so
that hardware rotation can be used where possible.
This decouples the management of Shadow from the scene window and allows
multiple items share the same Shadow.
Currently, kwin has a single scene graph, but it makes sense to create a
scene graph per output as they could have different layers, etc. This
would also allow QtQuick share more textures with kwin, which is worth
doing for optimization purposes in the future.
This makes shadow texture coordinates consistent with surface and
decoration texture coords and allows reusing window quads between
kwin items and qtquick items more easily.
This allows the decoration buttons to be updated accordingly
when the status changes.
We also need to explicitely update allowed actions when rules
are applied, as `isCloseable` is not a settable property, but

Port the RuleSettings and KCM to store and use a list of virtual desktop

The relevant key on kwinrulesrc changes from `desktop` to `desktops`.
A kconf_update script handles the migration.

This lays down some groundwork for realtime gestures in Wayland,
so that gestures that are 1:1 with user motion on a touchpad are
now possible to implement.
Due to earlier commits, this is mostly just glue code to make a
convenient API.
Gestures implemented with this API are four-finger gestures, to
avoid conflicting with apps that may use two or three-finger
gestures.
The previous implementation added noise in linear space, which resulted in
the effect becoming more pronounced on black backgrounds. This patch
changes the process to be applied in perceptual space, by making the noise
addition pass a separate draw call and disabling GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB during
that.
After this change, noise will look much more suppressed and almost never
grainy. This change also changes the range of the noise from
[-strength..strength) to [0..strength), as blending can only be either
additive or subtractive. As a result, users might need to ramp up their
noise parameter after this change.
v2: Add more explanation around the draw call.

Originally, there was ShellClient class that was the predecessor to
WaylandClient subclasses. If the main surface is unmapped, the
corresponding instance of ShellClient would be kept around. That had
been changed with the introduction of XdgToplevelClient and
XdgPopupClient.
Since ShellClient had been kept alive even if the corresponding surface
were unmapped, it did make sense to setup window management integration
when the surface is mapped.
However, this also means that plasma will not know about initially
minimized windows.
Since unmapped windows are handled differently now, we can setup window
management after the client performs the initial commit. If the main
surface is unmapped, the XdgToplevelClient object will be destroyed and
with it, the window management integration.
Currently, ExpoLayout delays layout updates by using a singleshot timer
(primarily due to the author of the effect not being aware of
QQuickItem::polish() and QQuickItem::updatePolish()).
This change makes ExpoLayout schedule layout updates using QtQuick's
native item polish machinery, which gets triggered before rendering and
thus we can batch more geometry updates.
In addition to that, this change simplifies the initialization code in
ScreenView by making the fact that ExpoLayout is arranged right before
rendering internal to the WindowHeap type.
As all outputs from secondary GPUs are in the same map as the ones from
the primary GPU, EglMultiBackend::findBackend always returned the
primary backend. To fix that, search in secondary backends first
This is to prevent hitting the case where there are no any outputs.
Ideally, it shouldn't matter in which order outputs are added or
removed, but the Workspace and AbstractClient subclasses don't work
with true headless mode. If there are no outputs, kwin can crash.
Due to the screen edges test not being an integration test, it's very
hard to change output related code in libkwin. screens.cpp needs to have
a few ifdefs to successfully compile.
This change rewrites the screen edges test as an integration test in
order to allow us using other components of kwin in screens.cpp and
screenedge.cpp without ifdef guards.
It's not a one-to-one port.
With the new output query algorithm, position of an output may not align
with its xinerama index. This can be problem on x11 as some protocols,
e.g. startup feedback, use xinerama indices to identify outputs.
Technically, the RandR specification doesn't say that CRTCs are stored
in the xinerama order, it only mentions that the first CRTC corresponds
to the primary output. However, such assumption was made by kwin prior
to output query changes, this change merely restores that behavior.
Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
This allows us to drop obsolete Screens class.
Currently, the Screens class is a thin wrapper around platform outputs +
some extra tracked state, e.g. active output, workspace geometry, etc.
This is a little helper that can be very convenient with our transition
from int-based screen ids to AbstractOutput.
As is, the main issue with int screen ids is that they are extremely
dynamic.
Instead of crashing because a nullptr property gets accessed, use
an explicit error message and ignore the offending object. This also
acts as documentation
With AbstractOutput being used more heavily, it makes sense to have
something like Screens::number() in the Platform class. As is, the steps
to get an output for a given point are awkward - first, get the screen
id, then use the screen id to get the output.
With the new virtual desktop model, we have an issue where the old
code that uses desktop() needs to be ported to desktops().
However, using no desktop() is better as we don't need to deal with
cases where a window can be on several desktops, which can be annoying
sometimes.
This change removes the desktop arg in electricBorderMaximizeGeometry()
and ports it to a Workspace::clientArea() overload that requires no
desktop.
Under the hood, Workspace::clientArea() still uses desktop(), but it
could also use a different strategy to compute the client area if the
window is on several virtual desktops, e.g. intersect client area on
every virtual desktop.
There's no need to guard the code, gbm and drm format definitions
are the same. Using GBM_BO_FORMAT_* even caused bugs, as that is
an enum and not a proper format identifier.
BUG: 441253
It's confusing to have two signals (virtualScreenGeometryChanged() and
screenGeometryChanged()) that indicate the same thing.
This change ports parts of kwin from the screenGeometryChanged() signal
to the virtualScreenGeometryChanged() signal with the main motivation to
drop the former.
The virtualScreenGeometryChanged() signal was chosen as the replacement
for the consistency sake with EffectsHandler's virtualScreenGeometry and
virtualScreenSize properties.
Currently, the EffectsHandler has two signals that are emitted when the
combined geometry of all outputs change - virtualScreenGeometryChanged()
and screenGeometryChanged(). Having two signals is most likely a
historical artifact.
This change untangles the screenGeometryChanged() signal from the
Workspace and makes it the same as the virtualScreenGeometryChanged()
signal.
Currently, there are a couple of issues with output querying on X11:
(a) if an output is changed, for example its transform has been changed,
then all outputs will be destroyed and created again
(b) it's possible to encounter the case where the platform has no
outputs. The X11Platform destroys all outputs, then queries new
outputs. The Workspace and AbstractClient sub-classes handle having
no outputs very poorly! It's even possible to hit a crash.
With this change, outputs will be queried similar to how it's done on
Wayland.
The current duration is 300ms, which is inappropriate for two reasons:
1. It's too slow
2. It doesn't match one of the standard durations. The effect should
ideally use those durations directly, but if this is not possible
for technical reasons, it should use the effective value of one of
those durations. Units.longDuration is 200ms which is the most
appropriate one to use here.
Therefore, change the animation duration from 300ms to 200ms to match
the standard Units.longDuration duration.
BUG: 441308

This makes it easier to spot if the effect is activated while there is
only one maximized window.
Note that anchors.margins cannot be used unfortunately as it won't take
effect until the ExpoLayout item is fully constructed. It may take a
couple of cycles for the geometry to settle down, which makes reasoning
about how the effect works difficult.
BUG: 312146
Once an animation starts due to property change, it cannot be easily
re-targeted. This can cause undesired animation jumps if a property
changes during startup (for example from 0 to its final value).
With this change, the window heap's animation will be disabled until
the effect starts the intro animation.
The ExpoLayout delays relayouting for optimization purposes. However,
this means that new geometry will be available only after returning to
the event loop.
This change delays starting the intro animation so it can be started
with new geometries.
It's confusing to have globalPos() and geometry() as both can return the
same information.
This change drops globalPos() function as it's not used outside the
AbstractWaylandOutput class and renames setGlobalPos() to moveTo() to
avoid having a setter without matching getter.
According to the Qt documentation, if an item overrides the
geometryChanged() method, it must call the base class method.
QQuickItem::geometryChanged() is responsible for emitting signals such
as xChanged(), yChanged(), etc.
It's the same as the currentDesktop except that it's a VirtualDesktop
object.
The main advantage of the currentVirtualDesktop property is that it
doesn't change if a virtual desktop is added or removed in the middle.
It also makes dealing with virtual desktop changes easier.
With the new virtual desktops model, a window can be on several virtual
desktops. Currently, scripts have no any way to get the list of desktops
the window is on. This change addresses that.
Currently, window thumbnails may be placed behind the panel, which
doesn't look good.
With this, the window heap will cover the same area as the maximize
area.
This makes the WindowHeap more robust to layout changes. Currently, the
main issue with it is that thumbnails will be misplaced if the heap's
scene position changes.
Kirigami.ScenePosition automagically keeps track of the item's scene pos.
If a window is on several virtual desktops, Workspace::switchWindow()
will not work as expected because AbstractClient::desktop() returns the
id of the last virtual desktop.
Since the active window is most likely on the current virtual desktop,
we can use that for filtering out irrelevant windows.
The new overloads take the client (as context) and the desired screen id
or a point and return the client area.
The main motivation behind this change is to make the transition to the
new virtual desktop model where a window can be on several desktops less
painful.
In the recent refactor we made it so environment variables got synced to
the Application::processStartupEnvironment.
It then seemed safe and cleaner to remove the qputenv calls, but this
was not the case. It regressed the unit tests on CI and kglobalaccel
which is another path where kwin spawns clients.
Syncs the primary selection from wayland to X and from X to wayland.
Instead of doing it through the internal connection like the clipboard,
this sets/reacts to changes in SeatInterface::prrimarySelection directly.
