SUMMARY Using the (dark) Breeze theme with the close, maximize, and minimize buttons in the default top right position, when I maximize the window and move the cursor to the top right of the screen, it will flicker between focusing the close button and whatever is below the window at the cursor as I slowly drag the cursor down. These dead zones mean that if I move my cursor to the top right of my screen to close whatever maximized window I have up, there's a chance that the click will be transferred to the window below it. If the window below it has the same dead zone, it presumably means the click goes to the desktop, but if it doesn't (like the Brave browser doesn't), it means you'll be closing the window below the intended target instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Maximize a Qt application like Dolphin or Gwenview 2. Move cursor to top rightmost part of screen, the close button should be highlighted 3. Slowly move the cursor up and down along the right edge of the screen by the close button OBSERVED RESULT The close button flickers, indicating it's going in and out of focus, and the things behind the maximized window are targeted when the close button is not highlighted and the mouse is clicked. EXPECTED RESULT The close button should be highlighted consistently, being targeted by the cursor, until the cursor is below it. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 6.0.2-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am also using Wayland with an AMD rx570 graphics card, if that helps any.
This has been happening to me a lot as well, I'm using Plasma Wayland with Breeze Light (from the Breeze Twilight global global theme), same button locations, same graphics card manufacturer. KDE Plasma 5.26.1 KDE Frameworks 5.99 Qt 5.15.6 Linux 6.0.2 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lbshX0gklQ
Can reproduce with 200% scale too, also on Wayland. Probably fallout from the floating-point positioning work in 5.26 that's a precursor for proper fractional scaling support. This inconsistently breaks Fitts' Law for all screen edges (not just the close button) and is quite annoying.
possibly related/same bug as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459373 ?
It happens at 100% scale and with native Wayland applications, so it should be unrelated. Looking closely at the cursor when I push it to the right border, it moves back and forth a little. PointerInputRedirection lets the cursor move until 1919.99999 on my 1080p screen, and then moves it back to 1919.0, effectively moving it in and out of the screen.
