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.

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.

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.
