I want to work on this and would be grateful if someone can point me towards the probable solution : )

I can only reproduce when focus has been removed from the Widget Explorer by clicking somewhere else after adding a widget, or when adding a widget by dragging. In these cases, the Widget Explorer loses focus and can't be closed with the Esc key or by clicking elsewhere.

Comment 2 rsi.dev17 2023-11-26 20:20:42 UTC

I prefer the drag and drop to add a widget as imo it is the most natural way to add a widget, we should do something so that focus remains on the widget explorer window even after dragging and dropping a widget.

I cannot reproduce this anymore. It seems like this has been fixed. May I ask either you or Nate to double check if you're still able to reproduce this in the latest Plasma version / master?
