Description Rainer B 2025-11-01 16:38:30 UTC
SUMMARY
Steps too cumbersome for  Set window "Always on top"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rightclick on titlebar to check "Always on top"
2. Option "Always on top" isn't visible
3. I have cumbersomely expand the menu to "More actions" to then find it.

OBSERVED RESULT
This important option is not reachable w/o more than 1 step.

EXPECTED RESULT
"Always on top" should have more priority in the dropdown list, before it comes to "More actions"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2025-11-01 17:33:42 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.27.1 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 5.27.1, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Comment 2 Rainer B 2025-11-01 18:15:43 UTC
Thank you for your quick and detailled response. 
The developer of Feren OS recommended to file the bug at bogs.kde.org.
However, I like your approach to wait for newer, active versions.
Could you provide me a direct answer whether the issue is fixed or 
improved, getting even more user-friendly?
Thank you in advance!
Have a great weekend!

warm regards,
Rainer

Unstable with Plasma 6.5.1 here - this is still a valid request with the exact same current design as in 5.27.

Comment 5 The Feren OS Dev 2025-11-01 18:47:17 UTC
@Rainer B This should be a WISHLIST priority issue - not sure if you pre-set it as WISHLIST but are you able to re-set it now I reopened the issue for 6.5.1 instead?
Comment 6 The Feren OS Dev 2025-11-01 18:50:18 UTC
Right, I should probably specify:

(KDE neon 24.04 packages)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2

@Feren OS DEV
Du meinst, ich solle diesen Bug Report neu schreiben, und zwar als Request?

Sorry, translation didn't work.

You mean I should rewrite this bug report as a request?
Comment 9 The Feren OS Dev 2025-11-01 20:12:24 UTC
No, I believe you can just edit the bug to set the 'priority' to WISHLIST, but I believe someone else will just d it themselves when triaging this one.

If we put everyone's favourite settings in the root menu we'll get a massive menu again.

I don't think there's a good reason to activate it that often; if you're doing it for the same window repeatedly window rules are a better fix.
