KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly development summary to bring attention to all of the KDE development changes. There's been a lot of last minute Plasma 6 work including:
- When dragging a file in the Plasma Wayland session and it passes over another window, you need to stop moving the cursor for a full second before that window will raise itself, compared to the prior value of a quarter second.
- Improvements to KRunner search results rankings.
- The clipboard and keyboard indicator system tray applets now hide themselves completely when there is nothing to show.
- Various UI tweaks/refinements to further refine KDE Plasma's appearance.
- It's no longer possible to crash Plasma by giving a virtual desktop an extremely long name... A long string of characters for virtual desktops up to now would crash Plasma shell.
- Various fixes for software using fractional scale factors.
- A bug in certain GPU configurations where KWin would use 100% of a CPU core has been resolved.
- Improvements to reduce the amount of blocking when browsing network-mounted file-systems.
- The "closeable" window rule now works in the Plasma Wayland session.
