[Stable Update] 2021-09-24 - Kernels, LibreOffice, Browsers, Pipewire, RHVoice, KDE Frameworks, Mesa

After the update, whenever I open a new window/application, it seems to be minimized. I use Qtile on a KDE Plasma installation, but load up Qtile instead (when choosing my login). It wasn’t an issue since I installed Qtile 7 months ago or so. This is pretty bad right now. Not sure how to test what caused it.

Kernel: 5.13.19-2-MANJARO
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 (8) @ 3.7GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
DE: KDE Plasma 5.22.5

Just for the record, I downgraded Qtile to the previous version and immediately the windows behave normal again. Right now this is what I have installed.

1 available update:
qtile 0.18.0-2 → 0.18.1-2 community

If the Manjaro team did not edit anything in qtile, then I assume the mainline is affected and I will bug report there.

Solution: v0.18.1 update completely breaks Bsp layout · Issue #2799 · qtile/qtile · GitHub - I missed the solution before posting here, because didn’t look for the correct words in the issues. The Qtile config.py needs to be updated, then it should work.
