That is intentional behavior.
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2016-08-20 19:41:48 UTC 
What is the purpose of this intentional behavior?
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-08-20 20:03:52 UTC 
All windows belonging to the desktop remain visible. Whether this is fully intentional or a technical side-effect I don't know, adding usability and re-assigning Kwin.
Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2016-08-21 07:17:04 UTC 
This is intentional behavior. All transient windows of a desktopwindow are shown in show desktop mode. It's a window belonging to the desktop, thus it should be shown.
Comment 5 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-08-21 17:57:42 UTC 
Yes, this makes sense, because "show desktop" is used for manipulating the desktop, for which this window is used.
