            Bug ID: 502075
           Summary: konsole --tabs-from-file window remains invisible /
                    unmapped
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.12.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux

          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

After switching from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40 (fresh install), I noticed that my
automation running Konsole --tabs-from-file was not working anymore, i.e. the
Konsole window appeared in the activity tab but there was no visible window per
se on the screen.

After investigating a bit, I found that:
- 'xwininfo' shows that the window is unmapped (Map State: IsUnMapped)
- 'xdotool windowmap' fixes the issue and make it appear on the screen

Note that I am running Gnome desktop with Mutter and X11, not KDE.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create file /tmp/konsole-tab with a single line "title: Home ;;
workdir:/home ;; command: /bin/zsh"
2. Run "konsole --tabs-from-file /tmp/konsole-tab"

OBSERVED RESULT

No window appears

EXPECTED RESULT

The konsole window appears
