Today, the KDE Project released KDE Plasma 6.3.5 as the fifth and last maintenance update to the latest KDE Plasma 6.3 desktop environment series to address more bugs, crashes, and other issues reported by users during the five weeks since KDE Plasma 6.3.4.

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 is here to fix a black or flickering lock screen issue for NVIDIA GPU users, a visual glitch with window shadows when using Night Light on certain hardware, a KWin crash caused by GPU resets, and a regression with the Activity Switcher sidebar being mis-positioned on multi-monitor setups.

KDE's window and composite manager, KWin, received quite the attention as this release also fixes a crash that occurred when disconnecting a laptop from certain docking stations, an issue causing it to schedule constant screen repaints while the screen was dimmed, which wasted resources, and several other crashes.

In addition, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 improves support for multi-screen setups by addressing an issue where the UI would inappropriately show the settings of a different screen when reverting a change to the other screen's settings, as well as a Plasma crash related to power-cycling screens.

This release also improves printing support by offering users the option to set a new printer as the default one when adding multiple printers, adds support for Qt 6.8.3 and Qt 6.9 for the Meta+P shortcut for opening the screen chooser overlay, and fixes several bugs related to notifications not moving to new positions.

Moreover, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 fixes a bug that caused notifications that included the < character to cut off all the following text, fixes a visual glitch on the Recent Files page in System Settings to highlight grid items when the whole grid view is disabled, and fixes a bug causing the Sticky Notes widgets to forget their custom size when resizing them.

The Plasma Discover package manager was improved as well in this release by addressing an issue with the “Still looking…” message being displayed un-centered, an issue with the header text for offline upgrades being displayed incorrectly at very narrow window widths, and a semi-common yet random-seeming crash.

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 also improves the Task Manager widget so that the group dialog pop-ups no longer rotate 180° when using reversed mode on a vertical panel, and makes the "audio is playing" icons less blurry when using a fractional scale factor.

Last but not least, KDE Plasma 6.3.5 fixes a bug that could cause the relevant numbers in a newly created Weather widget to show the wrong values until restarting, as well as an issue where the tooltip text in Plasma could be unreadable when using certain non-default color schemes.
