Bug ID: 458834
Summary: middle click closing windows is an issue if combined
with three finger tap = middle click and the three
fingers swipe gesture
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libinput
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: g.gue...@posteo.net
Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
Behaviour of the overview effects and other window management effect can get
problematic with the default setting: middle click = close if:
1. you have three finger tap = middle click and
2. you use the three finger swipe gesture to activate the effect (like for the
overview effect).
It means that when you activate the effect, if your cursor happen to be on a
window displayed by the effect the window closes automatically!
This drove me insane as my windows were disappearing randomly when activating
Overview with three finger swipe. I thought it was a bug in Overview effect
until:
1. I realised the three finger swipe also triggered the three finger tap which
then caused the window to close.
2. This made me learn about middle click = close in KDE (I knew it was a
behaviour for tabs in browser but never realised it extended beyond that)
3. It also made me realised I had three fingers tap = middle in touchpad
settings
