This is a "feature" of Wayland of itself I believe. To quote a smarter person "By design, Wayland doesn't allow clients to see the contents of another client". If that's the case here, the fix is not trivial. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 415927 *** |
Created attachment 149801 [details] Color chooser not working under Wayland SUMMARY Color chooser dialog doesn't work under Wayland It's also the same for KColorChooser app, both: 1-cannot pick up any color, 2-can't detect the position of mouse cursor while outside its window. See the screen recording. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log in to a Plasma Wayland session, open system settings app and go to colors section under appearance sub-menu (Optionally, you can use KColorChooser app since they behave exactly the same in this regard) 2. Choose custom color in the accent color options, and try to pick up any color, preferably outside its own window 3. No color will be chosen based on where you've clicked, and the position of the mouse cursor won't work when the mouse cursor isn't over the Color chooser dialog window (or KColorChooser main window). OBSERVED RESULT Color chooser dialog doesn't work under Wayland EXPECTED RESULT Color chooser dialog should work as it does under Xorg, picking up colors from anywhere on the screen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon User – 5.25 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Kernel: 5.13.0-51 generic (64bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A screen recording is attached.
