[Bug]: When selecting minimized window on other desktop in Latte Dock, GUI freezes

Summary

Selecting a minimized window in Latte Dock on another desktop causes everything to freeze, requiring a restart (to my knowledge).

2. Minimize program on desktop 1
3. Switch to desktop 2
4. Using Latte Dock, select the minimized program on desktop one
5. Everything freezes

Expected behavior

For the window to be selected and be tiled alongside the existing window(s) on the other desktop.

Thanks for reporting. I do sometimes encounter freezes with the Bismuth enabled. I will investigate the issue in the near future.

Seems like this is reproducible only if the layout is Monocle. After commenting out this hack, compositor no longer freezes.

[jonathansharpe]

Ok upon further testing, this is correct. Disabling the Monocle layout does prevent freezing under the conditions I listed. However, it still freezes under these conditions, which I forgot to list in the original bug report.

1. Open up windows A and B on desktop 1, window C on desktop 2
2. Minimize window A but not window B
3. Switch to desktop 2
4. Click on window A in Latte Dock
5. Everything freezes

This is reproducible even with the Monocle layout unselected.

I'm not sure if this is related but it kinda seems to be, but whenever I try to edit a Latte dock/panel everything freezes up. I thought it was an issue with Latte for a while but it stops happening if I disable Bismuth. But I don't ever use the monocle layout.

Here to report the same issue, basically if Bismuth is active, is not possible to modify settings for Latte dock/panel, everything freezes and you have to reboot.

This should be no longer reproducible with #124. Everybody is welcome to test.

[jonathansharpe]

Great! How can I test this out?

You have to git checkout this PRs, install it using these instructions and restart KWin if you're on X11 with:

kwin_x11 --replace & disown
