Description MZD 2025-01-04 19:53:06 UTC 
SUMMARY

Using the "Toggle Overview" keyboard shortcut to exit the Overview, the character is not prevented from being entered into the active window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a window that accepts text and ensure it is the active window
2. Use the shortcut to enter Overview
3. Use the shortcut (which is supposed to toggle)
4. Observe: Overview exits correctly, but the active window has the character input.

OBSERVED RESULT
My documents are strewn with random "/"'s (my shortcut is Meta+/).

EXPECTED RESULT
Overview should exit while capturing the key-stroke and preventing it as input to the active window.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Ubuntu Studio 24.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It's a simple thing that I trip on about 20 times per minute.

Okay, ashamed to realize this only happens when the active window is VS Code. Kate (text editor) and Thunderbird don't input the character.
I'm surprised that this could be dependent on the active window, but I don't have any idea how keyboard shortcuts for the desktop are handled.
