Created attachment 117877 [details] IntelliJ Idea welcome screen
Note: this bug seems to happen occur when the IntelliJ Idea based software's welcome screen is open. If a project is loaded, and the actual IDE window is open (but minimized), the bug does not occur.
I see this issue very frequently with Android Studio. The launch screen of Android Studio is open but clicking the application in the task bar doesn't bring the window to the foreground. Hovering on the task manager entry and clicking on the window preview (while the window is supposedly in the foreground) seems to be the only reliable way of getting the window visible. When the window is in the background the window preview is just the Android Studio logo, after clicking it while it's in the background it changes to a preview of the actual window and clicking the preview again brings the window to the foreground. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1
I can also confirm this. And also found a workaround, when you open Intellij click Show Desktop twice and it will come to the foreground.
...In what Plasma version?
here all my stuff Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.11.11-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-9400 CPU @ 2.90GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630
I meade a video, because why not... I have lots of free time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hly2wu9t8c0
Is anyone who was experiencing this issue in the past still able to reproduce it in Plasma 5.27.4?
Maybe related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478556
Seems quite likely. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 478556 ***
