Description deshmukh.sandip 2016-04-25 12:35:52 UTC

When I do 'Show Desktop' (Ctrl-F12), all windows disappear and the desktop with widgets is shown.

When I return (press Ctrl-F12 again), all windows are shows just as they were when I went to the desktop --- except that the window that was focussed earlier, is not focussed.

Anything I type goes to krunner (it starts on its own).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Working in Kwrite (so it has the focus), two other windows are open but are not focussed.
2. Ctrl-F12 - windows disappear. Desktop is shown
3. Ctrl-F12 - windows reappear. But Kwrite is not focussed.
4. Start typing, krunner opens and gets all the keystrokes

Actual Results:  
On coming back from 'Show desktop' focus is lost from the window that was focussed earlier.

If you start typing, krunner starts on its own and grabs all keystrokes.

Expected Results:  
The window that was focussed earlier should get the focus back.

This bug still exists in Plasma 5.8.0 LTS. It would be nice to see this fixed.

I had the same problem (Gentoo, Plasma 5.8.6).

Attached patch for kde-plasma/kwin-5.8.6 fixes the problem for me.

(Patch note: I just stuck together some bits of code from elsewhere in file. Could mess something else.)

This no longer appears to be an issue today.
