5048 related

John Preston:

The problem with ApplicationModal is that other windows, like Call Popup will appear below it and not accessible while you're in the viewer. Also custom notifications won't be above it and won't be able to receive input (for inline replies).

Can't reproduce

[Goosegit11]

uhmm, for some reason now it behaves another way, exactly like #5048 - window gets tiled and is not fullscreen

left is saved messages opened in separate window right is media viewer window

Well, given that you almost completely ignored the description of the 'Operating system' field in the issue template, I can't help you.

[Goosegit11]

uhh, how do you get a version of Arch?? I thought about uname -r, but template says it's useless.

dk 1.8-1

xorg 21.1.8-1

[ilya-fedin]

Wait, dk is a WM? I thought it's some English abbreviation. It's ok, WM version is not important.

[ilya-fedin]

Well, I don't really know what to suggest to you... Apparently your WM resets the fullscreen hint after first show (the window is not destroyed as media viewer is heavy and its re-creation takes a lot of time, it's only hidden). Apparently it's some WM bug, idk, I'd recommend to report this to your WM.

Actually I don't know what to suggest with the file dialog either, apparently it's some WM bug as well.

[Goosegit11]

okay, I'll report

[hexando]

same bug, arch kde

[ilya-fedin]

@hexando using official build?

[hexando]

@ilya-fedin yes

[ilya-fedin]

@hexando can you provide a screenshot?

[hexando]

@ilya-fedin oh, sorry. I got the issue mixed up. This is not the one

Problem was stupid simple.

I had to click this button in Media viewer. It controls if the Media viewer is floating (in tiling windows managers, tiled) or fullscreen.

[ilya-fedin]

Well, it shouldn't stay above in either mode and it doesn't on Windows, macOS, GNOME and KDE as far as I know

I meant this. Media viewer window was getting tiled because I accidentally pressed the "fullscreen" button in Media viewer.

[ilya-fedin]

ah, ok
