SUMMARY Can't escape windows preview by using keyboard ESC button when I hit icon of an opened application (with multiple windows opened). I can't leave preview mode except by using mouse, which is annoying. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install any distro with Plasma v5.25 or above 2. Open any application with multiple windows 3. Then use taskbar icons to get present-windows-like windows preview effect 4. Do this repeatedly until ESCape doesn't work anymore OBSERVED RESULT Failure to close present windows EXPECTED RESULT Closing present-windows both by ESC or by hitting bound "Activate Task Manager Entry" shortcuts. Before Plasma 5.25 exiting present-windows view (activated by using "Activate Task Manager Entry" shortcut) worked perfect both by using ESCape or the same shortcut used to open present-windows. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Plasma v5.25 heavily reworked desktop-effects and introduced a lot of bugs. It impacted my experience negatively. I just tested on Plasma 6 and this is already fixed there. |
