Bug ID: 516327
Summary: Windowfocus on wayland is broken when using context
menus
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.6.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
With plasma-xorg the focus behaviour is as expected: I have a smaller windows
in front of a larger window, I can can f.e. mark some text in the lower, larger
window, rightclick and copy the text and paste it into the foreground window.
With plasma-plasma, same situation, I mark the text in the lower window,
rightclick, but as soon as I click on copy (or paste), that lower windows rises
and covers the forgroud window. Really annoying behaviour.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. As described in the summary. Choose a proper focus model, rightclick in a
lower window and select a menu item.
OBSERVED RESULT
The lower window rises, as soon as a context menu item is being selected, while
it should not
EXPECTED RESULT
The lower window stays in the background, as configured - and respected by
xorg.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is btw. no regression, it dates back to at least 6.4, probably longer,
I've just been running x. As wayland, with this behaviour, is not usable for
me. But the time with xorg seems to be running out, hence...
Just to reemphasise: The window does not raise, when the context menu itself is
being opend, but as soon as an item within that menu is being activated.
Though both behaviours of course would be a pita
