SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** Specifically, windows with the accept-focus property set to false, and which are inactive, still receive mouse events. More generally, I am unable to use window rules to prevent a window from receiving any mouse events. The overall task I am trying to accomplish is to have a window with transparency overlaid on top of another window (with the "keep above others" window option), and be able to use the lower window without interacting with the semi-transparent window above it. This is useful for cases where there is not much screen real-estate but where you want to do several things at once, e.g. draw from a reference or watch a video while doing something else. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a window rule to force accept-focus to false. 2. Click on the window. OBSERVED RESULT The window received a mouse event even though it was not focused. EXPECTED RESULT The window did not receive a mouse event. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS 22.11 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am using Plasma under Wayland. I have confirmed that this happens with native Wayland windows as well as Xwayland windows. This bug seems related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283474 - that patch may have made it so that there is no longer a way to prevent a window from receiving click events.
Thank you for the bug report - unfortunately, we have not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.3.5?
