Once i get context menu to stop working, Meta key doesn't launch start menu ( I forgot how the applet is called. It is the default application launcher)

Ignore the above comment it is another bug. Which makes all keyboard shortcuts not working as well as the volume buttons

This issue of Right click context menu not showing up is fixed by opening kickoff through meta button. After opening kickoff once, This context menu shows up.

Can reproduce on Plasma 5.27 beta if meta+d is assigned to 'Peek at desktop'.
Comment 4 thenujan 2023-01-30 04:21:20 UTC 
Setting it to confirmed as it is reproducible by others
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-02-06 18:25:20 UTC 
Can also reproduce. I can make it appear again by right-clicking on something in the Task Manager; then right-clicking on the panel works. Pretty sure this is a Qt issue, maybe one of the ones already solved in Qt 6. David, do you know?

Reproducible on plasma6 (plasma-desktop on master branch)

Hmm, this is working for me now with today's git master.

I didn't test a full plasma 6 installation. I only build plasma-desktop from the source and tested it and the bug is still there. What's your qt6 version? Maybe it has something to do with it. Mine is 6.5.1 . And the master branch of plasma-desktop was last synced yesterday, and all of its dependencies as well.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2023-08-07 18:07:31 UTC 
I think you really need to test in a full Plasma 6 session, including with KWin from Plasma 6 too. Otherwise it's a franken-setup that doesn't match anything.
Comment 10 thenujan 2023-08-09 03:38:48 UTC 
Marking it resolved upstream as it is fixed on plasma 6 and it's a qt bug
