Description

Karousel version: 0.12
Plasma version: 6.3.4
X11 / Wayland: X11

Window class: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "zen"
Window caption (title): ....... - YouTube -- Zen Browser
Window type: NET::Normal

Description:

With "Re-maximize tiled windows" enabled:

  • play a video within Zen Browser (probably the same for plain Firefox)
  • make it full-screen
  • use any method to switch away to focus another window
  • switch back to the video-playing browser window

The video is not full screen, but the browser itself is.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sequence in Karousel 0.12 with Plasma 6.3.4 on X11: enable “Re-maximize tiled windows,” play a video in Zen Browser or Firefox, enter video full screen, switch windows, and return. Compare the browser and video window states after returning; done means the browser does not remain full screen when only the video had been full screen.
