I have now switched to Wayland, and the exact same issue still occurs. This confirms that the focus bug is not limited to X11. Current system info: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.3-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland CPU: Intel Core i5-1245U RAM: 31 GiB GPU: Intel Graphics Device: Dell Latitude 5430 A possible workaround: After switching activities, pressing Ctrl+D twice (my shortcut for "Show Desktop") restores proper focus behavior. So: - Switch activity - Press Ctrl+D twice → Now window focus works normally again.

So this creates two major annoyances and rather unusable UX:
- the virtual desktop switching 'animation' ('fade desktop' in my case) is
triggered
- if I click on what I think is the window in focus on the activity / desktop
because focus is on the old one everything 'jumps' back to that
activity/desktop/window

A really annoying workaround for me is after switching also doing e.g. META + D two times (show / hide desktop) or a couple of ALT+ TAB to re-focus the correct window. This is particularly painful when working with browsers or file managers as you accidentally click on a hyperlink in the 'old' window. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501393 --- Comment #8 from Kevin Krammer --- I've found a workaround. If you always switch activity on the same virtual desktop then the problem does not happen. For example I will now always first switch to virtual desktop 1 before switching activities. The new "remember virtual desktop" behavior requires me to change virtual desktops anyway, either before or after switching activities. If I do it before I don't get hit by this bug either. With the split of repositories it might be worthwhile to consider removal of this new behavior from kwin_x11 and keep stabilizing it in kwin_wayland first. Ideally with an on/off switch before "backporting" it to kwin_x11 (if at all)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501393 Kevin Krammer changed: What|Removed |Added Component|general |activities Severity|normal |grave Priority|NOR |VHI --- Comment #5 from Kevin Krammer --- This was most likely introduced in 6.3 with the change that moved "remember virtual desktop on activity" from Activity Manager to KWin. It now remembers the activity so well that the previous activity's windows still get the mouse input. At first I couldn't find a pattern but only had very unresponsive windows and weird changes to windows I had not explicitly interacted with. The latter effect is now clearly the result of the visible window being "unresponsive" because it received the clicks, moves, drags that the visible window appeared to ignore. If the "other window" is fullscreen you can't even intact with Plasma on the new activity anymore. Only reliable way to interact with any window is to go through an explicit KWin activation (ALT-Tab, window overview, taskbar activation). Anything else is the mouse interaction equivalent of Russian Roulette. I am increasing severity and moving to component activities P.S.: platform info Operating System: KDE neon 6.3 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-19-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
