Description

Karousel version: 0.16
Plasma version: 6.6.2
X11 / Wayland: Wayland

Description:

I updated from 0.15 today to 0.16 (on CachyOS) and since the update Karousel will tile fullscreen videos into the full space for windows, rather than making them actually fullscreen. This occurs with MPV, Haruna, Firefox (youtube video), and Gwenview, but did not occur with RetroArch opened in fullscreen.

Research direction

Reproduce the regression on Wayland with MPV, Haruna, Firefox, and Gwenview, comparing Karousel 0.16 with 0.15; RetroArch is a useful contrasting case. Trace the fullscreen-window handling in the Karousel source and verify that affected applications become actual fullscreen windows without changing the existing RetroArch behavior.
