I run KDE neon User Edition as a VM in Oracle Virtualbox 7.0, fully updated. I login to the Desktop session with Plasma (X11), as Plasma (Wayland) doesn't load the Desktop.

Comment 2 Stuart K. Smith 2024-06-20 18:15:31 UTC

Same observed here. Fully updated KDEneon 6.1 User Edition, Wayland and X11 sessions, Plasma 6.1;

Add Sticky Note to Desktop.
Type some stuff - nothing in Note as expected and Krunner opens with text.
Click on Note captures keyboard and typing enters into Note as expected.
Click on Desktop and typing continues to enter on note until note is deleted.

On same system Kubuntu 24.04, X11 session, Plasma 5.27; 

Add Sticky note to Desktop.
Type some stuff - nothing in Note as expected and Krunner opens with text.
Click on Note captures keyboard and typing enters into Note as expected.
Clicking on desktop and typing results in Krunner opening with the typed text displayed.

Comment 5 Paul L. 2024-06-20 23:40:25 UTC

Not sure that I agree with this bug being identified as a duplicate of bug 434090 and indicating this bugs status as RESOLVED. The duplicate cited is over 3-years old, it's status merely CONFIRMED but with no fix/solution given, and reported on Arch Linux that was running earlier versions of Plasma, Frameworks, and Qt.

Comment 6 Paul L. 2024-06-20 23:47:57 UTC

I can however, confirm that switching to Folder View, the Sticky Note widget behaves as one expects, and clicking anywhere outside of the Sticky Note releases focus from the Sticky Note.

That's just how bug reporting works, don't worry. :) It's normal for bugs to be marked as duplicates of older ones.
