Hello,
I works fine for me on Xorg with i3.

Are you using Plasma (judging by usage of KRunner) with Wayland?
Comment 2 jonas.harer 2024-06-13 20:05:59 UTC
Yes. I'm using Plasma 6 with Wayland.
Comment 3 Juraj 2024-06-13 20:15:53 UTC
Wayland may explain it, since there is not much code (if any) specific for Wayland in Falkon.
Comment 4 jonas.harer 2024-06-14 09:40:02 UTC
I just tested it with Plasma 6 and Xorg and it works great there
Comment 5 jonas.harer 2024-06-19 06:03:02 UTC
After a update to Plasma 6.1 the window doesn't remain hidden but it still remains hidden
