Description msegreto 2015-03-31 21:51:07 UTC
While scrolling with my mousewheel on any part of an open window KDE is switching my windows around, as if my mouse was directly over the task manager.

The case is somewhat random, sometimes I can scroll without it switching while other times I can barely scroll at all without a switch. 

Switches both forward and backwards in open windows list.

There is currently no option to turn off scrolling to switch windows in the task manager. I tried other options of not switching desktops on scroll.

I'm running this on a Virtualbox VM. Everything was working fine when first installed. I installed from Fedora site as the KDE package on 03/29/2015. This started happening after running a yum update on 03/31/2015.

Happens enough to make the desktop unusable.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on an open window
2. Start scrolling with the mousewheel, both up and down, usually in a quick fashion.

Actual Results:  
Observe that the current window has been switched to another open window.

Expected Results:  
It should only scroll within the window.

Is it still happening in a recent version of Plasma 5?
