Description barisdemirdelen 2016-10-02 12:10:55 UTC

All windows minimize usually after alternating clicks between a window and desktop. Happens ~ %30 of the time
An example video is available here:

Reddit thread here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/55hupx/plasma_575_all_windows_minimize_when_clicking/

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a window
2. Click Window
3. Click Desktop
4. Repeat 2-3, usually all windows minimize after 2-3 tries.

Actual Results:  
All windows minimized.

Expected Results:  
Focus on desktop

I use the official plasma-meta package on arch x64. This is a minor issue since it seems it doesn't happen to everyone, and you can always maximize said windows again.

Some guy on Reddit:


Hey, I found the root cause of this behaviour:
If you launch System Settings >> Workspace >> Window Management >> Window Behaviour >> Window Actions
and change the "Left button" action from "Activate, Raise & Pass Click" to just "Activate"
then you can no longer reproduce this issue.
I've been clicking around like mad for the last 5 minutes and I can't reproduce it all when it is set to "Activate". If I set it back to "Activate, Raise & Pass Click", I can reproduce it straight away.
Further tests show that when "Left button" is set to:
Activate, Raise & Pass Click - Issue present (default value)
Activate & Pass Click - Issue not present
Activate - Issue not present
Activate & Raise - Issue present
So the issue is related to how the "Raise" part of the action is being handled. I think the "Raise" message is being sent to the wrong

This issue should be fixed in Plasma 5.8
