Description Henning 2024-07-17 14:37:00 UTC 
I have trouble reproducing this. Kinda like the Doppelspalt experiment, whenever I try to record it it works.

When rightclicking on the panel, and clicking "add widgets", often the widget bar did not show, just the normal "zoom out once" happens, not the "zoom to the side"

I can confirm this bug. Happens only when panel settings is open.

Comment 3 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-07-18 13:26:03 UTC 
How I managed to reproduce this:

1. Right click on a panel
2. Select "Add widgets"
3. Click on panel to open its configuration
4. Right click on panel and select "Add widgets" again
5. The bug may already happen here, but if not, keep clicking on "Add widgets" in the panel right click context menu

It seems to be opening and closing very rapidly

Pushed by niccolove into branch 'master'.

Only requestActivate the panel config if the focus switches from applet popups to desktop

This is because if some other window (e.g. the widget sidebar) takes focus while a
popup is open, we don't want to ask focus back from that new window.
