Bug ID: 487340
Summary: window focus and clipboard act flaky
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: akostadi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I observe flaky behavior of window focus and clipboard. I file this as a single
bug because both things I will describe are related to switching windows so are
likely related.
Often when swithing to an existing konsole window with the mouse or Alt+Tab,
the cursor in the terminal appears hollow and pasting with middle mouse click
does not work no matter how many times I click with the mouse inside the
window.
Only when I press a keyboard button, the cursor becomes filled and now I can
paste with a middle mouse click.
Then switching between Firefox (125.0.3 in wayland mode), selecting a line,
doesn't set clipboard content. I have to try more than once sometimes until the
text is copied. I have selected the option in clipboard "keep the selection and
clipboard the same".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Firefox and Konsole
2. Switch to Firefox window and select text with the mouse
3. switch to Konsole window and middle click to paste text
OBSERVED RESULT
1. sometimes selected text in Firefox doesn't reach clipboard, more attempts to
select needed
2. often first need to press a keyboard key before I can middle-click paste
into konsole
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Selected text should always reach clipboard
2. I should be able to just click Konsole window to bring focus to it and
middle-click paste without the need to press a keyboard button
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)

KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have no idea how to debug this. I wanted to see like in earlier plasma
versions, to choose between software renderer and OpenGL, I can't see that
option here though.
So I understand the bug report is not very useful unless you can reproduce it,
but then I assume you would have fixed it already if you had it in your system,
because it is not really tolerable... or maybe that's just me. Anyway if you
tell me how can I provide more useful debug information, I'll gladly do.
