Created attachment 152927 [details] Right click menu on app in application launcher SUMMARY When a right click menu is open, or a menu bar item is open, the brightness and volume cannot be adjusted using the keys on the keyboard. Also a Spectacle screenshot cannot be taken using a shortcut. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Step 1. Right click on something in the plasma desktop environment like the wallpaper, desktop icons, an app in the task manager (task bar), an app in the application launcher, a window's titlebar. Right click on something inside an app. Left click to open an item in an app's menu bar. Step 2. Attempt to take a Spectacle screenshot using a shortcut (mine is Meta E). Attempt to adjust volume or brightness using the hotkeys with the brightness or volume symbol in the top row on the keyboard. These actions do nothing. However they work as expected when no right click menu or menu bar is open. EXCEPTION The exception to this would be inside of the Firefox app (installed from the firefox-105.0.3.tar.bz2 file on Mozilla's website) where I am still able to take Spectacle screenshots, adjust volume and brightness, even when an item on the menu bar is selected or when a right click menu is open. However, right clicking on the Firefox titlebar disables all these actions.

Know, and unfixable problem on X11
Basically any kind of popup will receive all input events so the shortcut system can't see them. It works as expected on Wayland
