Plasma 6.6, 6.7 & 6.8 See Plenty Of Bug Fixing This Week
Across the board much of the KDE Plasma development this week was dominated by fixes:
- With the Plasma 6.6.6 point release there are some notable fixes such as for a possible KWin crash when a monitor is rapidly power-cycled, fixing a clipboard-related issue causing XWayland-based apps to lag or freeze after locking the screen, and other bugs.
- Plasma 6.7 fixes a bug where one could accidentally drag a window so far off a screen edge that in turn it could never be moved back. This bug was first reported in 2024 but now addressed for the upcoming Plasma 6.7 desktop release.
- Plasma 6.7 also fixes an issue with certain laptop hardware/firmware that could trigger "an infinite stream" of keyboard brightness on screen displays after closing the laptop lid.
- Plasma 6.8 will reduce the amount of visual flickering observed when Discover checks for updates.
- Plasma 6.8 has also fixed two more KWin crash scenarios around KWin's Overview effect.
