Bug ID: 420617
Summary: Highlight of windows which require action sometime
doesn't cancel and prevent taskbar from hiding
Product: kwin
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pierr...@gmx.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When configuring the bottom (by default) bar as "hide automatically", it
reveals itself when a window requires an user input, and you can see which one
because it's highlighted in the taskbar. But sometimes, activating the window
doesn't stop it from being highlighted, so the bar doesn't hide. It happened
for multiple applications (Konsole, Firefox, Signal, even Dolphin if I remember
right), and I keep the line `pkill plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell` in my
shell history which is my only way to see again the bottom of my fullscreen
windows.
(sorry if I'm not using the right terms, it's harder as plasma is localized)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the bar containing the windows list as "hide automatically"
2. Use multiple programs which may require an user input
3. At some point, you may be unable to make the taskbar hide again
OBSERVED RESULT
The taskbar doesn't hide when activating an highlighted window
EXPECTED RESULT
The window stop being hightlighted when it's activated, and the taskbar hide
again
