Bug ID: 406017
Summary: Key events sent to applications when moving window
with keyboard
Product: kwin
Version: 5.15.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: samuel.gilb...@usherbrooke.ca
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Key events are sent to applications when moving windows with the keyboard.
This behaviour is clearly unintended. For example when moving a window of a
text editor, the cursor is moved in the text when pressing the arrow keys.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any application the arrow keys and ENTER are handled by the
application. (For example: Kate with some text or code)
2. ALT-F3 -> ALT-M -> ENTER
3. Use the arrow keys move the window
OBSERVED RESULT
The window moves, but the application also reacts to the key events
EXPECTED RESULT
The window moves and nothing is changed in the application (it does not receive
key events until the move is completed by hitting ENTER or clicking with the
mouse)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also noticed that the behaviour is not exactly the same when trying to move
non-KDE applications such as Firefox: The arrow keys do not move the window and
ENTER does not complete the move operation. The only way to complete the move
operation is to left-click with the mouse. The key events are handled by the
application as if no move operation had been started.
