<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think most bugs go unreported because it takes too much effort given the high probability of your bug never getting read much less fixed. I routinely see critical bugs that are five or ten years old in linux desktop-related projects. KDE presents its own set of challenges given how many moving parts it has given its configurability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think a bug reporting app (one that would pull system information, not just the app version) with notification updates regarding the priority of the bug would facilitate more reports. It basically just needs to be easier to report bugs and get some kind of feedback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...

So unless you've built Plasma from source very recently, you're version won't have this feature (and therefore it can't be searched for).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I expect this feature will be off/0px by default so you would only have to search for it if you want to turn it on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
<!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are now “<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416570" rel="nofollow ugc">edge barrier</a>” and “<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451744" rel="nofollow ugc">corner barrier</a>” features when you’ve using a multi-screen setup. ...

As it is very annoying if you don't want it. And I do not: I have two screens placed one on top of other, and panel is at the right side of bottom display. Can't see a reason for this feature for me, though I can imagine it would be helpful some people. What I'm complaining about is how hard to find it, searching for "barrier" in systemsettings gives nothing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another somewhat related question. At some time in the past there was nice behaviour: when two displays have different size and mouse is moved to edge where no other screen, mouse was moved (kinda teleported) to other screen anyway. Maybe this image would be more descriptive, mouse is moving from top to bottom.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just a question about Wayland environment: why hardware acceleration is missed on chromium based browsers when they run wayland natively under Nvidia proprietary drivers?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...

But we can't fix those bugs if we don't know about them, which is why we rely on bug reports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
