STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. Select 'Copy Here' in drag options menu
3. Launch the app
4. Confirmation about launching of the app appears
5. For example - press Meta or Alt+F1 to open app launcher
6. Application Launcher opens

OBSERVED RESULT
Text could not be entered into app launcher and no app can be launched from it

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.80
Qt Version: 5.11.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
File already exists desktop warning is not causing such behavior

Comment 1 Alexander Mentyu 2018-10-24 16:30:26 UTC

Same for Kicker and AppDash, AppDash cannot be closed when the trust warning window is opened

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-10 03:52:16 UTC

Modal means modal; this is intentional.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-06-10 22:15:08 UTC

...Intentional but not expected or useful. We've made other dialogs non-modal or less modal because freezing all of Plasma is really not a super nice UX.
