Description MarcelRichter101 2020-06-19 12:16:52 UTC

SUMMARY
Ever since an update in November or December 2019, wallpaper plugins no longer receive left click events, even in desktop view layout


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a wallpaper plugin capable of reacting to left clicks and enable it
* For example Code Example 2 from https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html *
2. Enable desktop view layout
3. Left click on the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
The plugin doesnt receive the left click event, even in desktop view layout

EXPECTED RESULT
The plugin handles the left click event, when desktop view layout is selected

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.1
Qt Version: 5.15.0

I can confirm that I also get this on 5.18.5. 

"activeFocusOnPress" as well as "focusOnNavigationEnabled" are both turned on in the wallpaper QML.

Can confirm this. I'm on 5.20.2.

This issue is still there on KDE Plasma 5.25.5, KDE Frameworks 5.97.0 and Qt 5.15.5.
Trying to find a workaround but nothing for now...

Ah, this. It's the same as Bug 413104 which is being fixed imminently. That's for the reminder!

Oh glad to see that :) Thanks!

Just to notice: I already saw this issue but I wasn't sure this was the same bug, because in this case left click isn't working in Desktop view nor in Folder view (but in Folder view it seems normal I guess).
