Description madness742 2024-07-04 06:39:08 UTC

SUMMARY
Gwenview will not respond to Next and Previous keyboard shortcuts after refocussing on the window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a minimum of two images in the same folder.
2. Open one of the pictures in Gwenview.
3. Click on a different window so that Gwenview loses focus.
4. Click back on the image in Gwenview by either clicking in the middle, or at the title bar.
5. Press the Next or Previous keyboard shortcut (assigned to the left and right arrow by default). 

OBSERVED RESULT
The image does not change to the next/previous image.

EXPECTED RESULT
The image should change to the next/previous image.

Comment 1 Duncan 2024-10-06 14:09:21 UTC

This seems to be fixed now.  I can't reproduce (tho I  have focus-under-mouse set so don't need to click, just move the mouse out of the window and back to switch focus away and back to).

Note that I'm just a user (not a dev) who found this while looking for another bug, but believe this to be resolved/fixed based on the several months ago age of the bug and that I don't see it on the newer versions detailed below.  If you still see it on the below or newer versions feel free to reopen as perhaps my config simply isn't triggering the bug for some reason.

Native kwin_wayland compositor session, live-git gwenview on live-git frameworks and plasma, all last updated on Oct 3 using the gentoo/kde overlay live-git ebuilds, on qt 6.7.3, reporting:

gwenview 24.11.70
frameworks 6.7.0
plasma (kwin_wayland) 6.1.90

With these possibly relevant system package versions:

I can still reproduce this, even on different distribution such as Fedora or Arch Linux, when the windows activation policy is set to 'Click to focus' [default setting]. When changing it to 'Focus under mouse' the bug does not appear.

Reproducable 100% on Gwenview 25.08

Comment 4 sakul301 2025-12-19 22:45:36 UTC

Still a problem for me in gwenview 25.12.0.
