Description Holger 2017-11-04 07:54:19 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
- enable Kscreenlocker (set a short timeout to speedup tests)
- start Gwenview and enable fullscreen via F11
- Alt+Tab to some other program

Although Gwenview lost focus, it still prevents the screen from locking. Especially, if you left Gwenview on another desktop, you could easily forget, that your screen won't lock, if you go away. You have to explicitly lock it manually by Ctrl+Alt+L.

Don't get me wrong: blocking Kscreenlocker while in front is totally appreciated. But please release the block, if not the focused window.

Confirmed with 17.04.3

BTW: Should the version field contain the earliest version or the latest affected version?

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2022-11-21 22:00:38 UTC
This appears to be intentional; Gwenview is deliberately setting an inhibition, which is listed in the Battery & Brightness widget. I guess it figures that a slideshow isn't the kind of thing during which you don't want to have your screen locked.

But it could clear the inhibition when it's not the frontmost app, yeah.
