SUMMARY Clicking on a different activity in the activity switcher no longer dismisses the switcher after switching. One has to move the focus to another window to dismiss the switcher. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In System Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Activities > Switching, disable 'remember current virtual desktop for each activity' 2. Open the activity manager sidebar (Meta + Q) 3. Click on another activity to activate it OBSERVED RESULTS The activity changes, but the sidebar still persists until the user changes the focus to another window. EXPECTED RESULTS The sidebar should get dismissed once the user switches to a different activity.

I have this issue too and not sure but it might be an issue when changing activity and also virtual desktops at the same time. Kernel: 6.2.11-arch1-1 DE: Plasma 5.27.4 wayland
The 'remember current virtual desktop for each activity' is no longer present in Plasma 6 git master (or at least I can't seem to find it) but I tested the Activity switching and the Activity Switcher bar does not go away.
Cannot reproduce on wayland master.

Yes, this setting is no longer present but the behavior should default to the previous "true". Might worth checking if somehow it's still used internally in some place and didn't get reset
I don't see that setting listed anywhere in ~/.config: cat kactivitymanager* [Plugin-org.kde.ActivityManager.Resources.Scoring] off-the-record-activities= [Favorites-org.kde.plasma.kickoff.favorites.instance-5-5b4a182e-a79f-41ea-b028-94e70d48685b] ordering=preferred://browser,applications:org.kde.kontact.desktop,applications:systemsettings.desktop,applications:org.kde.dolphin.desktop [Favorites-org.kde.plasma.kickoff.favorites.instance-5-global] ordering=preferred://browser,applications:org.kde.kontact.desktop,applications:systemsettings.desktop,applications:org.kde.dolphin.desktop [LastUsed] 5b4a182e-a79f-41ea-b028-94e70d48685b=1725278138 7f96deb5-6b08-4aed-bea5-2ca024fc383e=1725278138 [activities] 5b4a182e-a79f-41ea-b028-94e70d48685b=Default 7f96deb5-6b08-4aed-bea5-2ca024fc383e=Test [activities-icons] 7f96deb5-6b08-4aed-bea5-2ca024fc383e=activities [main] currentActivity=7f96deb5-6b08-4aed-bea5-2ca024fc383e
I just removed the contents of ~/.config (test user only no losses) and the Activity Bar still stays on screen for me until I click on the desktop or another window. I wonder if there's something stored in ~/.local/state or something.
