Description Quinten Kock 2023-09-11 10:18:44 UTC
SUMMARY
When the overview is open, popups such as the one for changing volume do not appear.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hit Meta+W to open the overview
2. Increase/decrease the volume with the keyboard buttons while the overview is open

OBSERVED RESULT
Popup appears informing me of the new volume

EXPECTED RESULT
Popup is not shown, except in the thumbnails for virtual desktops

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other 'overlays' such as the Kickoff menu also appear in the desktop thumbnails.

Filed under General because this also affects other 'overview-like' effects such as desktop grid/present windows.

Can reproduce in Plasma 6 too.
