SUMMARY Window switching not working. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konsole, Android Studio, Kate, two Firefox windows, YakYak, Dolphin, Telegram Desktop. 2. Switch between windows using mouse. 3. Sometimes I cannot bring inactive window to foreground. OBSERVED RESULT The activity's button in task panel was clicked, but no window appeared. Only Alt-Tab helps in such situation. EXPECTED RESULT Restore window from background to foreground. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Leap 15.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.45.0 Qt Version: 5.9.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think the problem is in the way how AndroidStudio and KDE interact with each other. Not sure if other apps have such problem.
So AndroidStudio is the only process that exhibits the behaviour?
Yes, looks like it is a problem with AndroidStudio working within kwin.
Can you run "xprop" and click on the androidstudio window. Also "xprop -root" after clicking the android window. (you may need some clever combo of "sleep 5 && xprop --root" to avoid having konsole active)
Created attachment 118902 [details] xprop output for AndroidStudio window Here it is (see the attachment). Also I've found exact steps how to reproduce: just put AndroidStudio into foreground, then click on it's button inside the task manager (window will minimize), and than again click the button to unminimize. You will see AndroidStudio coming out but not into the top-level - other windows will stay on top of it.

Also I noticed the similar problem with notifications: When I receive a message notification from WhatsApp Web running inside my Firefox (I keep two windows of Firefox opened), I click on the notification and KDE instead of bringing to foreground one of the Firefox windows (that contains WhatsApp Web) opens another app's window (Telegram).
