Bug ID: 464494
Summary: Zorder of all windows and menus get broken
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.5
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: activities
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: dieseltr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I use (Sierra Charts free download) in Bottles (Does the same with PlayOnLinux
fwiw). These open on another activity. When switching between the activities my
Windows which show as forground aren't actually receiving focus, instead the
app behind it (which you can't see) receives focus. This then affects items
like context menus too, whereby right clicking in dolphin will mean it's
context menu is BEHIND Dolphin. Sometimes changing the activity and going back
temporarily fixes it. Basically the active window is sent to the back but can
receive imput. Closing the Wine Apps and changing activities a few times fixes
this bug.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download Sierra Chart or some Windows application that allows multiple
windows - OUTSIDE of the APP ie SDI.
2. Open app on another activity
3. Switch between the activities, open Brave, Dolphin etc and the foreground
app won't receive input.
OBSERVED RESULT
ZOrder with overall desktop gets messed up. ie Clicking On Telegram on the
taskbar will bring a background app to the foreground, yet typing will actually
happen in Telegram even though it's behind another app
EXPECTED RESULT
Active / Foreground app should be in focus. Zordering appears to get skewed. It
appears to have something to do with Activities and Wine apps. I haven't tested
on other Wine Apps. It used to work fine around Plasma 5.23ish. It broke around
5.25.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Bottles 50.1
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested on Gnome and DEEPIN on the same Linux installation, Zorder works fine
while Sierra is open with those DE's.
