Since the last update to plasma on Fedora 22, when I try to start
konsole by right clicking on the desktop background and selecting
'konsole' it opens a konsole window but that window contains only a
screenshot of what was under the window when it was created! (The bar at
the top of the window says Konsole and the konsole icon is in the top
left corner of the bar).
Same issue here -- it appeared exactly when I had upgraded to
both Plasma 5.5.0 and KDE frameworks 5.17 on Dec 17, 2015.
The problem was not fixed by any F22 updates until Jan 3, 2016.
If I start konsole from the kickoff menu or from my panel launcher
button konsole opens normally and after that subsequent launches from
the desktop right-click menu work, but my first stuck konsole is still
stuck with the screenshot.
The bug is 100% reproducible on my system:
- First konsole opened is broken exactly as described by Roderick.
I should add that this konsole window is not responsive
to keyboard input either.
- Second konsole opened works just fine
- Third konsole opened works just fine
- After closing all konsole instances, the first konsole opened again has
the problem
Behavior is exactly the same regardless of whether I start konsole
from the kickoff menu, the launcher, or from a shortcut on the panel.
This is on a laptop with LVDS and external monitor (intel + nouveau
drivers),
but I doubt the presence of the external monitor is "triggering" the
problem
(I haven't tried LVDS only).
