To emphasise for the next person reading this, it's clicking on the window in the tooltip that doesn't work. Clicking on the task in the bar works fine. No idea how we could fix this from a design perspective. Very naïve answer to David Edmundson : the tooltip is deactivated immediately when the mouse leaves the area taken by a given task in the taskbar. Would it be possible to have delay before the disappearance? This would allow the mouse to reach the tooltip when triggered from the bottom row(s) of the taskbar, and not change anything if the tooltip is triggered from the upper row I haven't tested it but I think the patches in bug 358930 should also fix this. See https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/342 and https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/585 *** Bug 439363 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 441867 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 442916 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Another solution: don't make it switch window previews when moving the mouse over a different icon than the one that was clicked. You don't need click on anything to see the tooltip (for single windows, that is); it appears on hover. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > You don't need click on anything to see the tooltip (for single windows, > that is); it appears on hover. I have it configured on left click and this still happens. Up to a few versions ago (at least with latte) it would not shift window previews as one moved the mouse to a different icon. Sure but that's an option, and not the default behavior. The fix needs to work for everyone. Fixed in master and 5.27 branch. I expect the fix will be there in the 5.27.1 release. 5.27 hasn't been tarred yet, so it'll be fixed in 5.27.0, in fact! Git commit 6b0dd6514faad6d0803dc0d58ed93d995b82c237 by Bharadwaj Raju.

I can confirm after a few tries that I can now select any window, even when the thumbnail appears on the bottom row of the taskbar. Thank you! |
