--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
To correct a misconception, touch users won't encounter this issue because it's
not possible to show the titlebar context menu without a pointing device;
pressing-and-holding on the titlebar with a touchscreen does not open a menu.
So this issue is limited to adventurous right-clickers.
But I agree, the internet is littered with examples of where people shot
themselves in the foot over this. At a certain point a large enough collection
of anecdotes becomes indicative of a usability issue. I also agree that using
this for presentations seems uncommon since the most common apps you'd want to
present already include their own full-screen functionality.
Because this is intended for transient usage, perhaps an acceptable solution
could be to show a minimizable notification that says what happened and
includes a "Restore" button. People don't want to see it because it interferes
with their transient use case can manually minimize it to the Notifications
widget, which will ensure they remember where it went and how to get it back.
People who don't want to see it because they have in mind a more permanent use
case can always use a window rule.
