Pressing the physical middle button of the touchpad or using the three fingers gesture does not make any difference, the windows do not close. Instead, if you use a mouse, the shortcut works. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter the desktop grid using META+W or by moving the cursor on the top left corner of the screen. 2. Move the cursor over a window. 3. Press the middle button of the touchpad or try using the three finger gesture mapped as middle button press in the system settings. OBSERVED RESULT Any window is not closing. EXPECTED RESULT The window should close. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.27.0 Qt Version: 6.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I monitored the input via `libinput debug-events` while performing the 3-finger tap and also pressing the physical middle button of the touchpad inside the Overview (desktop grid). The hardware and libinput correctly register and send the BTN_MIDDLE event, confirming this is not a hardware or libinput issue: event9 POINTER_BUTTON +15.711s BTN_MIDDLE (274) pressed, seat count: 1 event9 POINTER_BUTTON +15.792s BTN_MIDDLE (274) released, seat count: 0 2527551 1 sort465 2026-06-28 02:49:09 +0000 Same bug in my laptop. Additionally, the right-click that pins the windows is not working in Overview (same problem than middle-click to close). With mouse, both are working as expected. 2528027 2 nate 2026-06-29 15:00:38 +0000 I can reproduce the issue on KDE Linux. 2528868 3 bug-janitor 2026-07-02 13:54:55 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/9523 2529246 4 stlnb 2026-07-04 17:26:58 +0000 *** Bug 522506 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2529643 5 xaver.hugl 2026-07-06 16:55:29 +0000 Git commit 82eaba4c1f8a5aa44ef8be4b746148c1d09d12ae by Xaver Hugl.
