SUMMARY When clicking anywhere on the panel in Wayland session, nothing gets registered. Secondary and tertiary (right/middle) clicks do however work fine, as well as hover. The problem persists in edit mode too. No other part of the desktop seems to have trouble picking up on clicks though… STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click panel in Wayland session OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT Whatever you clicked on will perform its action (e.g. open the launcher, run application or open system tray) SOFTWARE Operating System: KDE neon 5.26 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Nvidia driver version: 515.65.01 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It's hard to show something not registering on a screen recording, so no attachment. Just imagine clicking on stuff in the panel and nothing happening. :^)
I found the cause of the issue: I use the window behavior setting Window Actions > Inactive Inner Window Actions > Left click: "Activate and raise". This is so that I don't inadvertently cause an action when I just want to bring the window forward. On Wayland this however means that the panel doesn't read clicks, because it will never truly be raised. I would not expect this setting to affect the panel anyways, but now I know it's the cause. Do with that what you will. :^)
Can confirm, thanks for the investigation!

Same happens with right-click if I set "Activate and rise" to it Arch Linux 6.6.8 Plasma 5.27.10
This seems to be fixed with Plasma 6.
(In reply to Marco Rebhan from comment #5) > This seems to be fixed with Plasma 6. Well, almost. Panel's context menus seem to have focus state, they need to be clicked twice to use the menu entry.
Can confirm this, too. I would really like to use "Activate and raise" behavior for left click again. Fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, it would be good to see a fix. This bug stops me from switching to Wayland.
