Bug ID: 495720
Summary: Alt+Tab on overview effect opens "alt+tab" overlay on
kwin_wayland (not on X11)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

alt+tab overlay on overview effect
SUMMARY
Alt+tab overlay shows up as a mini-preview in active overlay effect when
pressing alt+tab.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a kwin Wayland session
2. Configure "Alt+Tab" switcher to show sidebar overlay
2. Open overview effect (e.g. via Super+W)
3. On opened, overview effect press "Alt+Tab"
4. Repeat same with kwin X11 session
OBSERVED RESULT
In a Kwin wayland session, overlay appears as a window in overview effect. You
can use it to switch focused window (e.g. exit overlay via ESC key)
In a Kwin X11 session, the alt+tab overlay does not appear visually.
EXPECTED RESULT
Having both overlay effect and the Alt+Tab as a mini-windows is confusing. I
would expect either of the following options
- Alt+Tab is visualized in overview effect (accent color around focused
window), alt+tab overlay does not appear
- Alt+Tab does not do anything during overview effect
- Alt+Tab exits overview effect, regular Alt+tab UI is display
