When I try to right-click a task icon (to close it, or to pin it to my taskbar, or…), the transparency effect from "Highlight Windows" kicks in. Since the right-click menu is not the application window, it becomes invisible and unusable (without guessing at least). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable "Highlight Windows". 2. Right click on an icon. 3. Try to use a right-click option. Good luck!

Created attachment 95036 [details] Patch to add context menu to highlighted windows I've tried the same as Kai in bug 53744 with the same results. I'm attaching the patch here. Thomas, any further thoughts?

> Thomas, any further thoughts? which Thomas?
The one I expected to be in the CC list after the dupe merge above :)
iirc there's some trouble with the way Qt5 creates popups, the WId changes. => For a quick try use "QTimer::singleShot(100, this, updateWindowHighlight());" if that works, we'd need to check when we can actually rely on the winId() of the popup.
Any progress here?

curious....resolved but exactly this bug is present in arch linux plasmashell --version - 5.7.3
Can't reproduce - opening the context menu cancels window highlight here.
