Created attachment 175473 [details] alt+tab overlay on overview effect SUMMARY Alt+tab overlay shows up as a mini-preview in active overlay effect when pressing alt+tab. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start a kwin Wayland session 2. Configure "Alt+Tab" switcher to show sidebar overlay 2. Open overview effect (e.g. via Super+W) 3. On opened, overview effect press "Alt+Tab" 4. Repeat same with kwin X11 session OBSERVED RESULT In a Kwin wayland session, overlay appears as a window in overview effect. You can use it to switch focused window (e.g. exit overlay via ESC key) In a Kwin X11 session, the alt+tab overlay does not appear visually. EXPECTED RESULT Having both overlay effect and the Alt+Tab as a mini-windows is confusing. I would expect either of the following options - Alt+Tab is visualized in overview effect (accent color around focused window), alt+tab overlay does not appear - Alt+Tab does not do anything during overview effect - Alt+Tab exits overview effect, regular Alt+tab UI is display SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS kwin: git 1747518f81d46db0230cb434f673bcedf565de8f 2024-11-01 Operating System: Kubuntu 24.10 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-7-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 20 × Intel® Core™ i9-10900X CPU @ 3.70GHz Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
