Bug ID: 498424
Summary: Steam steals focus on Wayland even with the window
being covered and clicks to covering windows are
instead sent to Steam
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After playing a game (mostly with Proton (Wine), so both Steam and the game are
run under XWayland), sometimes Steam gets the focus without raising the window.
I also usually have Firefox (Wayland, IIRC) open.
What it happens is that, after exiting the game, I see the Firefox window on
top but on the taskbar Steam is active.
When I click inside the Firefox window, Steam gets the input instead.
To fix this, I have to force the Steam's window to be visible and then switch
back to Firefox (or other windows). Then everything resumes to work fine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Steam
2. Launch a game (preferably a game running via Proton, such that it uses
XWayland. IDK if it's required, though)
3. Open Firefox (or other apps, I mostly have Firefox open so...)
4. Alt-Tab between the game and Firefox (imagine I'm searching a wiki of the
game for items' descriptions)
5. Exit the game
6. Firefox should be the visible window; try to interact with it
OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes, Steam receives the focus but the window isn't visibile because it's
covered by Firefox.
Yet, KWin thinks somehow that the input events should be sent to Steam, instead
to Firefox.
To restore the correct behavior, switch to Steam and then switch back to
Firefox.
EXPECTED RESULT
If Steam gets the focus, KWin should work correctly.
Otherwise, Steam shouldn't get the focus and the last active window (Firefox)
should get it, instead.
In any case, the behavior MUST be coherent between focused window and visible
window.
