SUMMARY [Wayland] Screen edges not blocked when playing StarCraft 2 (over Wine). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use default configuration for screen edge actions in KWin. 2. Start StartCraft2. 3. Move mouse pointer the to top-left corner. OBSERVED RESULT The "All Windows" (Expose) effect is triggered with one of the windows being the StarCraft2 game. EXPECTED RESULT Screen edges should not react while something full-screen and engaging like a video game is on active on screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.17.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please, re-test on recent KWin. I can give you advise how to do it on your distro without touching your system. Just PM me if you need my assistant.
Sorry, installing a new version of kwin would be too complicated for me. I can re-test after update to Fedora 32 or a newer release, which is currently blocked because Fedora 32 doesn't ship Python2 which https://cgit.kde.org/pology.git depends on.

Still reproducible in Plasma 5.18.5, KF 5.70.0, Qt 5.13.2 on Fedora 31.
Could you try to find out if it's Wine-related, StarCraft related or something else? Easier way to reproduce it is preferable (with free software).
It has nothing to do with wine. You can open 1 app,then open Konsole and go full-screen. The same issue occurs.
Maybe the desirable behaviour would be different for Konsole and real-time strategy games. I would say it's okay if Konsole doesn't block KWin screen edge actions because there's not reason for a user of Konsole to push their mouse against screen edge. However in video games it's commonly used to scroll the map. Unfortunately I cannot verify the current behaviour on Xorg because of another bug.
I named Konsole just as an example. I can reproduce it with firefox, VLC and games both on X11 and Wayland. From what I have gathered that's the default setting for screen edges.
Not reproducible with the same installation of StarCraft 2 (over Wine) on X11.
