SUMMARY
For the last year and many new versions of Plasma I keep having this bug and it doesn’t get fix in any update and I can’t find information about it on the internet so I’ll be posting this as a fix request for the developers to fix this issue.

It affects all the latest versions of Plasma 6, maybe since 6.0, I don’t know exactly.

The bug appears sometimes when I try to copy a link that I set up to have an action in klipper.

Example: I copy a youtube link in Brave and I get a popup like “open in mpv”, which is good, I have that action set up.

If I click to open (or to cancel, or whatever I click in the popup) it works, but if I try AGAIN to copy another link in Brave, the popup won’t open again, and I will get a log error in journalctl:

plasmashell[12155]: Failed to create grabbing popup. Ensure popup QWidgetWindow(0x5bc6979b2760,name="klipperActionPopupWindow") has a transientParent set and that parent window has received input.

Same if I try to open the popup with a shortcut.

Now, if I click the kde panel or open the kde menu and then again try to trigger the popup (with the shortcut) then IT WORKS now again until I click the popup again and back to not being able to get the popup back until I click outside of Brave again.

So basically my only way to trigger the popup appearing twice in brave is copying a link, using the popup, clicking the panel or opening the kde apps menu (because alt+tab doesn’t work either) and then copying again or triggering the shortcut.

If I copy and use the popup once, I can’t do it again without this steps.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.0.0 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 6.0.0, 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.

The issue was tested in 6.5.2 but it is from months ago.
