SUMMARY Some widgets like Global Menu or Window Buttons aren't receiving can't be used on the latest releases of Plasma + Latte. This was tested using the beta release of Plasma 5.16 and the latest git commit from Latte Dock. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make sure you have the latest git release for Latte Dock + the 5.16 beta release of Plasma. 2. Add a global menu on a Latte Panel and try to use it. OBSERVED RESULT The widget doesn't receive any focus event EXPECTED RESULT The widget should work as expected. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Monitor resolution: 3840 x 2160 Linux/KDE Plasma: kwin_x11 5.15.90-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.90-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0-1 Qt Version: 5.13.0beta3-1 Video driver: nvidia 430.14-2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If you replace the Latte Panel with a Plasma one, the widgets work as expected.
1. show me the Latte tooltips for these applet in inConfigureAppletsMode 2. if you lock them to not use the parabolic effect does it do any better?

No. The panel is not using the parabolic effect. With or without it the behaviour is identical.
Show me a video with the issue please
(In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #3) > Show me a video with the issue please The video is linked in the previous comment (#2). You can see when I was hovering/clicking over the widgets (when the dock was locked), that instead of each getting the focus only the tooltip was displayed. 1. For the Global Menu, when you hover over it, the rectangular box should appear over the selected menu option. 2. For the Window Buttons, when a certain button gets hovered over, the background changes.
Also, as a related note, 'Drag and maximize/restore active window' doesn't work as well. It behaves as it has been disabled. Having this option enabled or disabled doesn't influence the behaviour seen on the previously mentioned widgets (the root cause for why this isn't working is probably the same).
Solution A: Disable "Show title tooltips on hovering" at Behavior page Solution B: If you want the thinner latte tooltips for applets keep option from Solution A but for those applets that you have this issue OR you prefer the Plasma original tooltips instead, LOCK them! You can lock them from the applet tooltip, https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/FAQ#Can_I_disable_the_parabolic_effect_for_a_specific_applet.3F that lock option Forces Plasma original behavior for applets and disables parabolic effect at the same time Improvement: I will add in an upcoming commmit when the user chooses Panel mode the option from Solution A to be forced to disabled until the user re-enables it

I wasn't fully aware of this feature until now. > Improvement: I will add in an upcoming commmit when the user chooses Panel > mode the option from Solution A to be forced to disabled until the user > re-enables it This sounds really good. Also, as an somewhat unrelated note to the original ticket, it seems that the drag and drop support is still not working using the latest git repository no matter if the option is selected or not. Is there some other feature that overrides this control?
The drag n drop from empty areas is now an option that you can find at Behavior page, is it enabled?
changed some options based on Panel/Dock mode...
