I'm quite happy with the Plasma6 release, but I have number of regression with respect to Plasma5. (c.im)

@kde I'm quite happy with the Plasma6 release, but I have number of regression with respect to Plasma5.

The worst, by far, is that lockscreen seems to be broken. I use password or fingerprint, with pam configured to ask for fingerprint after password failure. When I unlock after sleep, the greeter only displays an "unlock" button with an open lock icon. Clicking it does nothing. If I manually trigger the screen locker, I can unlock once, but on the second try it usually hangs.

Second problem: touchpad gestures in wayland. It was already a pain that one could not personalize these actions, but at least the defaults were ok for me (3 finger up/down for desktop grid/present windows). And I could use fusuma for more.
The new defaults hijacks all 3-finger gestures to scroll one virtual desktop up/down left/right which I find useless.

And all those widgets which have not been ported yet, and probably never will. I tried to give a quick look at the two I used most, but it is too far away from my kind of programming.

You don't remember the gestures on Plasma 5 correctly. They already used both 3 and 4 finger gestures like they do now, and 3 finger gestures were for virtual desktop switching too.

@Zamundaaa I did actually mix up three vs four fingers, but what has changed is that the three fingers gestures to change virtual desktop only worked on the bare desktop, while now they are global i.e. they work even if you have an in focus window.

No, they were always global. Scrolling on the desktop to change virtual desktops was disabled by default, but nothing changed about the three finger gestures

@Zamundaaa I don't know if it was a wayland quirks or something esle, but they definitely were not global for me, we're talking two days ago. I would have noticed if desktops kept whizzing around every time I try to maximize a window or pull down the runner, as they do now ;)

I'm one of the KWin maintainers, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this hasn't changed. Maybe you were on Xorg then?
