Hello, I works fine for me on Xorg with i3. Are you using Plasma (judging by usage of KRunner) with Wayland? Yes. I'm using Plasma 6 with Wayland. Wayland may explain it, since there is not much code (if any) specific for Wayland in Falkon. I just tested it with Plasma 6 and Xorg and it works great there After a update to Plasma 6.1 the window doesn't remain hidden but it still remains hidden Hello, Based on what I learnt about Wayland, the idea is that programs should not be able to change focus on their own accord, which in my opinion this is. My verdict: It is a Wayland feature. |
