2. open Discover. If it is not maximized, do it.
3. search for Persepolis and click on it
4. click on "Launch" button on top

OBSERVED RESULT
an error message appears and Discover is unmaximized. Please watch the attached screen recording.

do not unmaximize Discover after the provided steps

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-05-06 16:23:10 UTC

What the heck

Comment 3 LeoBeliik 2025-06-30 12:53:14 UTC

it seems to happen with any popup, for example, it happens when uninstalling an app and the popup for extra packages being uninstalled shows and unmaximizes discover.

Comment 4 John Veness 2025-07-03 10:03:14 UTC

Confirmed here too.

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250701
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.15.4-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

(does it in Wayland too).

I think this is recent - started in 6.4.0 maybe.

Can trivially reproduce with Discover's dummy backend (`plasma-discover --backends dummy`) by maximizing the window and then clicking on the "To who?" button.

I can't reproduce with dialogs in System Settings or NeoChat, so it looks like it's Discover-specific.
