Please test it with a more recent version, e.g. with the AppImage from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ However, make a backup of the databases if you want to go back to your old version. Maik You are working with a 2 year old digiKam version. In the meantime, hundreds of bugs have been fixed and improvements made.

It doesn't do this with other applications in similar circumstances. But if you suspect a bug in kwin, please explain why you think it might be a kwin issue, and I'm ready to report it there. I did notice though that just moving the mouse out of and back into the window seems to address the issue (but that workaround is still cumbersome, but might point us into the right direction) With Plasma desktop this problem can be also relevant of the OpenGL effect turned on in the desktop settings. Try to disable the Plasma desktop effects and try again.

This lists numerous effects, but none of them is called plasma. Or do you mean to switch off *all* desktop effects, no matter their name? In "Compositor", I have "Rendering Backend", which can be set to "OpenGL 3.1", "OpenGL 2" or "XRender". It already was XRender. So, *exact* names / spellings of settings to change would definitely help me test this out. In any case, this still looks like a bug to be, other applications do pop up dialogs on occasion too, but this problem does not happen to them. So digikam must be doing something weird here, that no other application does, even if it does break by confusing kwin. I had a look at the save confirmation window using xprop, and I noticed that it had its WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property set pointing to digikam's *main* window, rather than to the ImageEditor window. Could that be what is confusing kwin? WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x4e0001f @Alain, digiKam 8.0.0 is out. This entry still valid with this release ? Best regards Gilles Caulier Problem still occurs with version 7.9.0 as included in Debian 12 Alain, What's about this file using current 8.2.0 AppImage Linux bundle ? It's reproducible ? https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier |
