Description Patrick Silva 2025-02-16 14:14:20 UTC

SUMMARY
If "Hide other windows when hovering over previews" is checked, a window is briefly focused no matter how fast I move the mouse pointer over its preview.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make sure "Hide other windows when hovering over previews" is checked in the task manager settings
2. open an app and minimize it
3. hover over the task until its preview is activated
4. while the preview is visible, move the mouse pointer to desktop vertically and rapidly

OBSERVED RESULT
a window is briefly focused no matter how fast I move the mouse pointer in the last step

EXPECTED RESULT
prevent the observed result by adding a delay for "Hide other windows when hovering over previews"

I submitted an MR that implements this just as you were submitting this, see here if you want to try it out: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2816 Feedback on the question of having a (smaller) delay when switching between windows of a grouped task would be particularly welcome. 

Anyway, it's essentially the same issue as bug 469983 except a little less generic, so I'm marking this as a duplicate of that one.
