Can you attach a screen recording?
Comment 2 Andres Betts 2020-09-27 13:33:16 UTC 
I am on wayland so I wasn't able to get a screen recorder so I used my phone.

That video is marked as private, so I can't see it. I think you want "unlisted" not "private".
Comment 4 Andres Betts 2020-09-29 14:24:51 UTC 
VIDEO FIXED!
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-09-29 17:11:48 UTC 
Thanks, can confirm.
Comment 6 David Edmundson 2022-01-12 17:00:46 UTC 
It is a plasma surface with set_role(2) and set_panel_takes_focus(1)

Always sync the setPanelBehavior to wayland

Currently this code is in the else statement to if (type !=
Dialog::Normal) {

This doesn't make sense as panel roles apply explicitly to other types,
like Dialog::Dock. On X11 the equivalent always applies.
