Description strangequark 2021-09-14 12:04:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
Volume/brightness can not be changed when the right-click context menu on the desktop is open

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on the desktop/panel
2. Try to change volume/brightness using the keyboard function keys

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, volume/brightness remains the same.

EXPECTED RESULT
Volume or brightness should increase or decrease when they are supposed to.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.22
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.11.0-34-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Even the microphone mute key doesn't work when the context menu is open. Also, the screen lock (Meta+L or the Fn key) isn't responsive either.

This is not a problem as such, just that all these controls can be really inconsistent about when they work.
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2021-09-14 12:13:36 UTC 
Limitation of X11
