Description Jonatan Nilsson 2023-10-25 10:38:56 UTC 
Created attachment 162562 [details]
The window appear-above-others is floating above the application launcher and anything else in the taskbar.

When you make a window "Appear above others" it floats above everything, including the application launcher, and anything else on the taskbar. Poissibly a duplicate of #285394 that was reported for plasma4 if I'm not mistaken. Also another note is that #476079 is similar problem but with a different, separate component.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make window "Appear above others"
2. Expand anything on the taskbar.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm including a screenshot of a small konsole window that's marked as always on top. Everything on the taskbar, including the application launcher and the icons in lower-right are expanding underneath it making it really hard to use.

To clarify, I have spoken to the reporter and this is a Wayland-only issue.
