STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open 2 windows 2. Hover over some element that raises native tooltip in the inactive window OBSERVED RESULT Inactive window is activated and focused. EXPECTED RESULT Inactive window should stay inactive - previous behavior.

That's quite odd! 2468306 2 pallaswept 2025-11-06 09:08:30 +0000 Thanks for reporting this. I'm glad you figured out how to reproduce it! My nerves are busted so I wasn't sure if it was 'clicking by itself' or I'd developed a twitch in my index finger and I couldn't feel it :D 2468357 3 bug-janitor 2025-11-06 14:11:01 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8376 2468697 4 xaver.hugl 2025-11-07 15:52:25 +0000 Git commit 50aa2e6009866afb3fdd1d9586aef4579d25ca1c by Xaver Hugl. Committed on 07/11/2025 at 12:10. Pushed by zamundaaa into branch 'master'. workspace: don't activate or restack popup windows Activating a popup window implicitly causes its parent to be activated as well, which makes it get in the way of the previously active window. Restacking them below the active window sounds sensible on the surface, but also happens to raise both the popup and its parent above the active window, because the popup is in a different layer than the active window. I would like to change restackWindowUnderActive to be more intuitive, but it looks a bit risky for a bugfix. It can be done later as a refactor.
