Can't disable OSD

[SirYaro]

It seems to be some issue with OSD functionality.

When I drag any window, script shows osd with configured layout (default one in my case), after I drop window in the designated zone OSD stays enabled. I still can move windows behind the OSD (if I guess right where they are) and attached them to the zones, but no matter, I do OSD stay on. I need to kill a whole kwin session to get rid of it.

kwin shortcut "toggle OSD" enable OSD but for unknown reason is unable to disable it.

Also, after I enable kzones script, a black rectangle (approx 10x2cm) appears in the left top corner of the screen. It stays there until I disable script or enable somehow OSD.

I know that most likely it's not enough to find out what's wrong. But if you tell me how to provide you more data, I'm more than happy to do so.

Can you restart KWin in a terminal and take a look if you see any errors while this is happening?

kwin_x11 --replace & disown

It doesn't look like much for me, but maybe you'll read more out of this:

Hmm. nothing out of the ordinary in your logs.

To be completely honest, I have no idea why you're getting this behavior. I cannot replicate this on a fresh KDE neon VM (same version as yours)

Have you done any special modifications to your system that might be causing this? Does this also happen when using Wayland?

[SirYaro]

It seems there is something messed up within my KDE profile. :) I made a new user account and tried again with it. It worked fine straight away.

My apologies for wasting your time, Gerrit.

[gerritdevriese]

No worries, glad to hear that 😊
