Description Maximilian Federle 2021-11-03 09:36:17 UTC

SUMMARY

See https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/file-chooser-not-focused/22269

Snaps that use the kde-neon extension use the host's xdg-desktop-portal implementation.
However, FileChooser dialogs (open & save) open behind the application window because Qt sends the application's window id in the wrong format (dec instead of hex).

The upstream patch correcting this problem: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/acaabc9108dfe75530960cf8e3ec4f3602cd82e0.patch

I guess this would need to be added in https://invent.kde.org/neon/qt/qtbase/-/tree/Neon/release/debian/patches, but I lack the time and skills to test building a deb with this patch to create a PR. 

https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/file-chooser-not-focused/22269
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run any snap that uses kde-neon
2. Open file dialog


OBSERVED RESULT
The file dialog opens out of focus in the background (at least on Gnome)

EXPECTED RESULT

The file dialog should open in the foreground, as it is the case with Gtk applications.

I created a PR: https://invent.kde.org/neon/qt/qtbase/-/merge_requests/3

Comment 2 Maximilian Federle 2021-11-10 09:09:17 UTC

This was fixed with https://invent.kde.org/neon/qt/qtbase/-/commit/3043f743331d474b12440bfe2eb467e44dfbb3ea
kde-frameworks-5-qt-5-15-3-core20 revision 7 has hit stable and solves the issue for kde-neon snaps.

Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2022-06-09 07:30:39 UTC

Please contribute this patch to Qt5PatchCollection next time so everyone will benefit, not just Neon.
