Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

v2.8, v2.9, v2.10 were all released recently after a few months hiatus (v2.7 was in Oct).

Most of the changes were bug fixes but v2.8 had new features too:

  • New visibility mode: Intelligent Auto Hide (aka Intellihide / Dodge Windows): in this mode, the dock only hides itself when there's a window covering it or there's a maximized window.
  • Supports LXQt (KWin) on Wayland: including special menu entries (e.g. Log Out), specific default launchers, setting wallpapers and separate config.
  • Task icon: Allow cycling backwards through window applications with CTRL: so left-clicking cycles forwards and CTRL + left-clicking cycles backwards.

Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to customize, and cross-desktop support.

The current version (version 2) supports KDE Plasma 6 and LXQt (KWin) on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs. The previous version (version 1) supports KDE Plasma 5, GNOME, LXQt, Cinnamon and MATE on X11.
