Tiling Layout stopped working on some windows after upgrade to Plasma 5.27

[clupasq]

Symptom

After upgrading to KDE 5.27, many windows are not affected by Krohnkite.

How to Reproduce

1. Update to KDE Plasma 5.27.0
2. Open a the system settings window, or a Konsole terminal
3. Note that these are not resized as the current tiling settings require: for me, Konsole opens full screen and the system settings are in Floating mode.
4. Other windows (ex: Brave browser) obey the tiling layout just fine. If only Brave windows are open on a desktop, all seems well. Opening a Konsole terminal makes the terminal full screen, and the Brave window half screen (obeying tiling).

Expected behavior

I expect all windows to be affected by my current tiling settings (except the ones specifically blacklisted in the Krohnkite settings, like Spectacle for example).

Environment

• Distro: Fedora 37
• KWin version: 5.27.0
• Krohnkite version: v0.8.2 (75f65da)
• List of KWin scripts in use: [Krohnkite]

Notes

[absorb-it]

Same here, not working on 5.27.2, was working on 5.26.5 before.

• Distro: Gentoo
• KWin version: 5.27.2
• Krohnkite version: v0.8.2 (75f65da)
• List of KWin scripts in use: [Krohnkite] [SelectiveVirtualDesktops]

[absorb-it]

implemented some temporary fix (ugly, works-for-me) and added as pull-request. Building from https://github.com/absorb-it/krohnkite with this change works now on kwin 5.27

Be aware that I have no idea what the modified variables are used for and what might be affected additionally by this change - it just prevents running into this bug. Additional fixes might be required.

Thank you, @absorb-it !

I confirm that your fix works for me as well. 👍

tried to compile it but got this error instead:

tsc
make: tsc: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:71: krohnkite.js] Error 127

what causes this problem?

It appears that you don't have the TypeScript compiler installed.

Try to install it with:

npm i --location=global typescript

turns out it was not installed yet, thank you so much! :D

Can confirm this fix works. Thanks @absorb-it

This is not working for me on 5.27.4. Just to make sure that I am using it correctly:

1. click on the window to tile
2. meta + T
3. select the zone for the window

Nothing happens after I select the directed zone

I am not experiencing any issues (1,5 years later) on KDE 5.27.11. Everything seems to work well on 0.8.1 (at least for now).
