Description saxn 2024-02-17 00:58:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
After opening Configure Toolbars window, we cannot use the main window or the menu.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kate
2. Open Configure Toolbars
3. Now the menu is blocked in main window.

OBSERVED RESULT
Main window is blocked.

EXPECTED RESULT
Main window shouldn't be blocked. Opening other applications with same window doesn't block the main window like dolphin and okular.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Using plasma 6.1 dev on neon unstable in wayland.

It looks like in Dolphin or Okular, the toolbars are locked when the Configure Toolbar window is open, but one can still interact with the menus and document content.  In Kate, nothing can be interacted with when the Configure Toolbar window is open.  It is inconsistent, for sure, but is there a benefit to being able to interact with some of the interface, but not all?  I am guessing the toolbar has to be locked to edit it?

Our config dialog is modal, too. I see no benefit in altering that, beside allowing potential stuff that is not handled well like disabling a plugin during the life time of that dialog.

Dolphin and Okular behave the same as Kate for me, as expected
