This page tracks the Wayland showstoppers throughout the stack.
KWin/compositing/window management
- When the compositor crashes, all apps crash too: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85631
- Spectacle rectangular region screenshots don't work: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432260
- No Wayland protocol for cross-app window activation/focus, so windows don't get brought forward when activated by another app: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424795 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/50
- No Wayland protocol for app launch feedback, so there is no feedback on the cursor or Task Manager when an app is launched: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402903
- No vertical/horizontal maximize of Wayland native clients. KWin uses NetWM modes internally to do this. Works with Xwayland clients. Would also work for Wayland clients, just the state cannot be exported to Wayland (c.f. Quick tiling).
- XWayland windows are upscaled and look blurry and ugly in HiDPI mode: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389191
- "Pin/keep open" functionality for Plasma applets does not work: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400317
Input
- Touchpad Gestures:
- They are not configurable
- They are very boolean, they don't show any feedback until they're executed.
- Can't type accented characters in native Wayland Qt apps: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411729
Plasma
- Session restoring does not include Wayland native windows. Our sessions management recover engine is based on the X Session Management Protocol and there is apparently currently no generic concept to do it on Wayland. But on Qt it's plugin-able and GNOME has according to their wiki an own implementation for some time.
- No activities.
- Session sometimes crashes when changing Global Themes: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422424
- Plasma sometimes crashes when changing Global Themes: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414834
Drag and Drop issues
- Plasma crashes when dragging a file over the panel: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398440
- Cursor sometimes erroneously displays "no drag possible" icon even when it is possible: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383794
- Can't abort drag-and-drop with the Esc key: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405267
