Hi - I can't reproduce on my Fedora KDE 42 device. Could you please check and see if the same issue occurs in a Wayland session? Thanks! > Could you please check and see if the same issue occurs in a Wayland session?
Yes, I have the same issue in Wayland unfortunately.
Note that to reproduce this issue, you really have to trigger Toggle Present Windows *immediately* after moving your cursor to Thunderbird's message list. If Toggle Present Windows is triggered too late, even just by a few tens of milliseconds and a tooltip is already fading in, the issue won't happen. I encounter this issue relatively often since I assigned a button on my mouse to Ctrl-F10, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed.
And btw I use NVIDIA with its proprietary driver (nvidia-dkms 570.144-1). Not sure whether it's relevant.
I'm also not able to reproduce this on git-master with a keybind I can very quickly use for Present Windows. Unfortunately there's no easy way to remap buttons on my mouse. This may very well be a race condition that requires the speed of a mouse click. Hopefully someone else can test with a remapped mouse button.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it's only caused by some weird setup of mine. Though to make sure there was no miscommunication, I uploaded a screen recoding of this issue. (Pardon my terrible editing skills lol.) Here's also a script I managed to put together to reproduce it under X11: #!/usr/bin/env bash # Open Thunderbird and System Monitor first # Make sure Thunderbird is visible, and System Monitor overlaps with Thunderbird when brought into foreground thunderbird_window_id="$(xdotool search --sync --onlyvisible --name Thunderbird)" xdotool windowactivate --sync "$thunderbird_window_id" # Adjust based on height of Thunderbird message list pane xdotool mousemove --window "$thunderbird_window_id" --polar 0 200 # The delay has to be around 0.4-0.5 # Apparently it won't happen if it's too short either, and it can even trigger some weird Thunderbird shortcuts when set to 0.1. sleep 0.5 xdotool key Ctrl+F10 xdotool type 'system monitor' xdotool key Enter > xdotool type 'system monitor' Sorry but please remove the space between `system monitor`. It should be: > xdotool type 'systemmonitor' Just realised that Toggle Present Windows confirms its selection on Space too, so ` monitor` actually got typed into System Monitor, although it didn't change the outcome. |
