Bug ID: 484155
Summary: Defocused fullscreen apps sometimes continue to
display over everything else
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nel.n.lindb...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When an app is fullscreen it should be possible to press the meta key and
defocus the app, have all panels (or just the panel the app launcher is in) and
the app launcher display, and be able to use any task managers in the panels to
focus other windows and use them temporarily before focusing the fullscreen
window again. However this functionality seems very flaky/broken on plasma and
most of the time doesn't work.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I unfortunately haven't been able to find any steps that always work because
it's very opaque when this doesn't and doesn't get flaky in my experience
though simply starting most any game and putting it in fullscreen will most of
the time cause some sort of strange behaviour. If it's one of the lucky few
times it does work right it usually stops working after a restart or two.
OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes the panels and app launcher don't show up at all the fullscreen
window just get unfocused. If the panels do show up using the task manager to
switch to another window often results in that window flashing to the front and
then being hidden back behind the fullscreen window immediately after.
EXPECTED RESULT
Hitting the meta key should always: defocus the currently focused window and
show the application launcher and all panels (or at least the panel the
application launcher is in). Choosing another window from any task managers in
the shown panels should then focus that window and keep it at the top layer and
focused until it'd defocused.
