Description Jason Straight 2024-02-26 14:53:39 UTC

In wayland (not tested on xorg), when I minimize a non QT application, focus is not given to the last active window.

I noticed this to be an issue while trying to get Keepass auto-type working on Wayland with the KPUinput plug-in.

When Keepass minimizes itself to perform the auto-type, the last active window is not given focus, and the password is not properly sent to the intended window because of that.

I experimented by minimizing and restoring some windows and realized this to be the case with every non QT application I tried.

Are all of the tested apps using XWayland? Are you using the Slide Back effect? Do you have any other non-default KWin effects active?

They are. 

What do you know - an actual use for xeyes.

>Are you using the Slide Back effect?

No. I am using squash, but I also tried without it.

>Do you have any other non-default KWin effects active?

No. Everything is Defaults under Desktop Effects.


Thanks.

I reproduced with a fresh user. Are you on the same version (rc2/5.93) as me? Maybe it's already fixed?

Thanks. Can you test the final 6.0 release tomorrow?

Working in 6.0
