Description Rainer Finke 2019-08-10 07:03:31 UTC 
If Kate is running/minimized and I open an additional file e.g. from Dolphin, Kate will not be shown on Wayland and it remains in the background. The user will have to show Kate on its own and there is no feedback if the file is successfully opened or not.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Minimize Kate
3. Open Dolphin
4. Open a text file

OBSERVED RESULT
File is opened in the background, no feedback that something happened in Kate

EXPECTED RESULT
Kate will restore it's normal window size

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60
Qt Version: 5.13
Kate 19.07.90
Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2019-09-21 02:07:37 UTC 
Same behavior with Kate 19.08.1 on Plasma 5.17 beta.
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-10-27 05:44:10 UTC 
Confirmed still an issue on 20.08.1
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-10-27 11:16:50 UTC 
This is a Wayland problem. There isn't a generic Wayland protocol for activating a different application. It's being worked on; see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/50
