Description roland 2020-04-15 12:59:06 UTC

SUMMARY
After all of the updates pushed out over the past 3-4 days, Emacs is continually shoved to the background.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Firefox and go to KDE Bugs (or any other page in full screen mode)
2. Open Emacs in same monitor.
3. Use mouse to click Buffers menu

OBSERVED RESULT
Emacs goes behind the browser but buffer dropdown menu appears over your browser. Clicking on Emacs in the bottom bar will not bring it forward. The only way it can become the top window is if you close all other windows.

EXPECTED RESULT
Emacs should have stayed on top. Menu should have dropped down. Life should have been good like it was early last week and the weeks before.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: KDE neon 5.18
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1
Kernel Version: 5.0.0-37-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory: 23.3 GiB of RAM

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Things worked just fine before updates.

Has nothing to do with browser. LibreOffice, KNotes, every other application puts itself on top of Emacs.

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2020-05-06 22:38:13 UTC

Could you please use 'xprop' in Konsole and click on the Emacs window to get its properties?

Comment 2 Vlad Zahorodnii 2020-05-07 06:38:27 UTC

Hmm, it seems to me like the stacking order of x server and kwin's are out of sync.

Are you able to reproduce this bug with downgraded kwin?

It wasnt' happening, and then it was. 

I don't know how to "downgrade" kwin nor would I consider breaking my machine for a "test." I'm just reporting the bug.

It should be easy for anyone to install KDE Neon and reproduce this.

Comment 5 David Edmundson 2023-09-06 10:38:06 UTC

This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. 
If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
