[Bug]: Remaining windows do not update on window kill/close

[lucasballr]

Summary

Whenever I have multiple windows open and kill one of them, the remaining windows stay in place until I do some type of window update (like opening krunner). After a window update, the windows will fix themselves.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch any two windows in tiling mode.
2. Close one of the windows. (I'm using the Close Window hotkey with kwin, Also happens with Kill window hotkey)
3. Remaining window will remain in place until window update

Expected behavior

Remaining windows should populate the empty space when the window is closed.

I'm having the same issue!
I'm also on Wayland, but on Nobara Linux

This is one of many issues I've noticed on Wayland. When running in an X11 session, there is no problem.

I don't know if the information will help but this seems to only happen on recent kwin+wayland versions. I'm on 5.27.5

Not only that, when you use meta + mouse right key to resize the window, the layout state update will not be triggered

As described in the pinned issue, this project has essentially been deprecated and will likely not receive any updates in the future. I would recommend trying out Polonium, it is a very new project so expect a few bugs here and there but it is an amazing alternative that works on wayland on 5.27.

@AxerTheAxe thanks much for that, somehow missed that remark! Thanks to all the people who have committed code here, it was a great/useful project!

FYI: This PR fixes this issue for me: #490

(I've tried Polonium briefly and I didn't like it as much as Bismuth)

Nice! I really hope this could get merged soom but I don't think this project will come back anytime soon. And please note that polonium has only existed for a little over a month and basic features are still being worked on so don't expect a full blown Bismuth replacement just yet. Thanks for sharing this information as I have been stuck on X11 for the past couple of months because of Bismuth being broken on Wayland and this might just be the thing I need to finally make the switch!
