[opensuse] Curious bug with Firefox? KDE?
Recently, there's been a bug with the way open Firefox icons are displayed. These are the icons that appear when the cursor is held over an open app. With Firefox, all instances show the same content, which makes it impossible to choose the desired one. Clicking on the icon produces the desired list of open windows. Has anyone else noticed this? Ideas? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It's not at all clear to me what you mean by this. Could you provide one or two images to illustrate this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I thought this list didn't support attachments. However, open a few different Firefox windows. On the task bar there should be a Firefox icon or button. If you hover the cursor over it, you get to choose from the various windows displaying what they connect to. Previously, they did that. Right now, they all show the same site, but only one of them is the correct one. If you click on that button, you get a list that does display the correct content. On the other hand, Chromium and Seamonkey work as expected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

it does not to my knowledge, but you are free to provide files somewhere for one to peruse and I believe that was the idea.

you undoubtedly are using a different or broken window manager than I am, plasma5/kde5. the icons are the same but the labels are different.
If you click on that button, you get a list that does display the correct content. On the other hand, Chromium and Seamonkey work as expected.
don't understand what chromium or seamonkey have to do with firefox. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Here it is: https://paste.opensuse.org/65094484 I have a couple of Firefox windows open on Youtube. You can see the picture at the left is shown across the screen multiple times. Another window that shows something else isn't shown at all.

OK, I have never seen this behaviour at all, ever. When I have 2 or more windows (anything, not just FF), hovering the cursor over one always shows what is in the current active tab. With grouping by application name, I see as many images as there are open windows, each with the current active tab displayed. You OTOH, appear to have many more images being displayed than you have tabs open. Also, as you say, that other window isn't being shown at all. That may be because the displayed images take up the full screen width.
I have a couple of Firefox windows open on Youtube. You can see the picture at the left is shown across the screen multiple times. Another window that shows something else isn't shown at all. How could I select it?
There is a little green dot with a plus sign in it, bottom left on the FF taskmanager tab. Click on that green dot, and you should see the list pop up with all the open windows listed. In any event, I would suggest restarting the desktop, because this is very unusual behaviour. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No green dot here... just a list of FF tabs with "energy impact" and "memory" columns. Selecting a line offers to close a tab ('X' on the right). Impossible to go to that tab. about:performance -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I don't see any such green dot. However, I just noticed something else. If I close the Firefox window that's being shown, it goes back to normal. However, as soon as I start watching another another Youtube video, the same thing occurs.

Sorry, I missed that. However, as I mentioned before, clicking on that button works as it should. It's just with hovering over it that this happens. Then if I close the video I was watching it works as it should.

I've read in here of issues with FF 79.0. FF 78.1esr is current in 15.2. Is there any chance you could change one of those computers to use that version, so we can see if this behaviour is coming from FF or KDE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why do https://software.opensuse.org/package/MozillaFirefox and http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.2/oss/x86_64/ still show 78.1.0 then?

I didn't install anything manually. This was an automatic software update that apparently came from obs. I just noticed something curious. I don't have a separate repository for Firefox, but I do have one for Seamonkey. Both the Firefox and Seamonkey lines, in Software Management, list obs://build.opensuse.org/mozilla.

FWIW, whatever you sent the mail with (SeaMonkey?) has also corrupted the spacing around the URLs in the part of my post you quoted.

Try stepping back to the versions in the main OSS repository, and see if the issue remains. I suggest doing that in YaST software management, where it's a lot easier to do. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Run "zypper info MozillaFirefox" and post results. Also run "repos --details > somefile" and attach "somefile". Do not paste the file into the mail, it has long lines and they wrap.

This is the KDE task manager. Note that you only see those little green dot thingies if you are grouping tasks by application name -- they are actually menu buttons.
on my Tw display, those little green "menu buttons" are actually active anywhere on the associated task master tab. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

- -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar) Thanx, Carlos. Someone else wrote that what is frequently called the "Panel"--the band at the bottom of the display--is the Task Manager. Sure enough, that's what it calls itself. If you right-click on an empty spot on that ribbon, you get "Configure Task Manager" and some other choices. I think that ribbon is also called the Systray, but maybe I'm wrong. --doug

Mine calls itself "panel" :-D Yep, confusing. I'm not using KDE, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
