That is intentional behavior.

Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2016-08-20 19:41:48 UTC

What is the purpose of this intentional behavior?

Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-08-20 20:03:52 UTC

All windows belonging to the desktop remain visible. Whether this is fully intentional or a technical side-effect I don't know, adding usability and re-assigning Kwin.

Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2016-08-21 07:17:04 UTC

This is intentional behavior. All transient windows of a desktopwindow are shown in show desktop mode. It's a window belonging to the desktop, thus it should be shown.

Comment 5 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-08-21 17:57:42 UTC

Yes, this makes sense, because "show desktop" is used for manipulating the desktop, for which this window is used.
