Description padurean.tudor11 2025-02-22 16:30:50 UTC 
SUMMARY
Cannot close widgets after closing a context menu by clicking on the desktop. I was able to reproduce this in the application launcher and the kde connect widget.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a widget, for example the application launcher
2. Open a context menu, for example by right-clicking on an app icon
3. Close the menu by clicking on the desktop (does not happen if clicking on a window)
4. The context menu closes, but now the application launcher will not close (unless I click on it's icon in the panel)

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget no longer closes, even if other widgets are activated.

EXPECTED RESULT
The widget should close if you click outside it's "window".

Check AppletPopup visibility conditions whenever focus switches

The logic behind whether an AppletPopup should switch depends on
the active focus window. However, it is run only when the popup
itself loses focus. By running it each time the active focus
window changes, we make sure the popup never remains stuck open.
