Description Jérôme L 2026-01-10 02:53:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
Typing during grid view transition do a search and filters windows.
I suspect it's the search from the overview, because typing the name of an open application only shows the window of this application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add virtual desktops for the grid view
2. Register Win+G as KWin/Grid View shortcut (default, but not enabled)
3. Reduce animation speed
4. Press Win+G
5. Spam any letter during the transition

OBSERVED RESULT
The windows disapear during the transition.
They reappear once the transition finishes.

EXPECTED RESULT
User input (except Ctrl+G and Escape) doesn't affect the view during the transition.

Comment 1 Jérôme L 2026-01-11 01:44:31 UTC 
`readOnly: gridVal > 0` instead of `readOnly: gridVal == 1` fixes this.

Other steps to reproduce:
1. Open overview
2. Type to fitler windows
3. Open grid

OBSERVED
Windows appear at the end of the transition
EXPECTED
The windows appear during the transition
