The popup is not displayed correctly

Open gabrieleolmi opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

I have a laptop connected to a monitor. At the moment, I am only using the monitor while the laptop screen is disabled. The problem is that when it's time for a break, the popup is not displayed correctly, even if I disable the monitor and I use only the laptop screen. Additionally, the popup does not stay on top, but easily disappears behind other applications. I am using breaktimer with these parameters (otherwise it doesn't detect interruptions properly):
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

BreakTimer: 2.0.1 Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.7-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

UPDATE

The popup is displayed correctly if I do NOT use the following parameters: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
However, if I don't use them, idle time is not detected. Is there any solution for this?

Any idea what the relationship is between that setting and idle detection?

I don't know, I just followed the solution proposed in this issue https://github.com/tom-james-watson/breaktimer-app/issues/277 Wayland is the default nowadays, is it possible that these parameters still need to be used to correctly detect idle time?
