Description Sven Ullmann 2017-10-23 07:31:24 UTC 
The Menu can be opened sometimes, and sometimes not.
The Windows-Key makes here trouble between VMWare Workstation Windows 10 Guest.

Kubuntu.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2017-10-25 17:35:28 UTC 
Plasma version 5.10.5.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2017-10-25 18:25:52 UTC 
Sorry I do not understand. Could you please describe in more details? Right now I'm not sure whether kubuntu or windows is in the VM and where the menu doesn't open.
Comment 3 Sven Ullmann 2017-10-26 18:02:53 UTC 
After you start a VMWare Container with Windows 10 in some cases the Application Starter of KDE, (K) in the Menu, can't be opened using the Windows-Key.

I see if i open the W10 Menu using the Windows-Key both Menus the Windows Start and the KDE Application Starter comes up.

Sometimes, in this case the KDE Application Starter can be opened normally.

Hope this helps.

Im Using:

Plasma: 5.9.5
KDE Framework: 5.31.0
QT: 5.7.1
Kernel: 4.10.0-37-generic
64bit

Regards

Das KDE Menü springt in der VM bei Windows 10 gleichzeitig auf.

Es kommt nämlich vor, dass das KDE Menü mit der Windows Taste nicht mehr geöffnet werden kann.

Irgendwie gibt es da ein Problem mit dem Zusammenspiel zwischen KDE und W10 in der VM beim verwenden der Windows Taste.
Comment 7 Sven Ullmann 2017-10-27 07:48:39 UTC 
Wenn ich jetzt z.B. W10 minimiere und das KDE Menü mit der Windows Taste öffnen will. Passiert nichts. Auch wenn ich die VM wieder schließe bleibt die Taste dann ohne Funktion.
Comment 8 Martin Flöser 2017-10-27 13:44:15 UTC 
Ok, understood.

Summary: after using the VM the modifier only shortcuts stop working.

I'm sorry but your version is outdated and no longer supported. I remember hat we fixed a related bug in a newer version (either 5.10 or 5.11), so it is possible that this specific issue is resolved. If you are able to reproduce with the latest version please reopen.
