Always keep at least one empty desktop causes errors opening windows #30

Closed CommunistWitchDoctor closed 4 years ago

Setting "Always keep at least one empty desktop" on makes it so that opening a window on any desktop switches back to the first virtual desktop. Windows open on the desired virtual desktop, but focus is imminently switched. Disabling "Always keep at least one empty desktop" causes the problem to go away, setting "Automatically remove redundant empty desktops" on or off has no effect either way.

Example: Desktop 1 is occupied Desktop 2 is empty I open a terminal on Desktop 2 My screen switches back to having Desktop 1 shows I need to switch back to Desktop 2 to use my terminal

Bad timing on submitting, I just found out this problem is not, in fact, an issue with virtual-desktop-bar but rather a conflict between virtual-desktop-bar and the kwin script "parachute". As scripts aren't necessarily expected to play well together, I'm closing the issue.
