Description Onyx 2022-03-09 02:01:51 UTC
SUMMARY
I’ve discovered a bug using Plasma / Wayland / Libreoffice, where clicking simple dialog popups such as the font size or the font color result in failure to display the dialog. Or more correctly I can sometimes see the color chooser flash briefly in middle of screen. Therefore cannot choose color.
Under X11 there is no problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Log into Plasma Wayland Sesssion
2.  Open LibreOffice, type some garbage, select the garbage
3. Go to pick the Font Color

OBSERVED RESULT
Color picker dialog may briefly flash in middle of screen, or simply not appear.

EXPECTED RESULT
Color Picker dialog appears at top fo screen and stays visible
