Description Nico 2023-12-03 22:02:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
Opening an app with multiple windows then clicking it then trying to middle-click to close a window doesn't work


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Have an icons only task manager applet in the panel configured with Clicking group task: “Show large window previews”
2. Open two dolphin windows
3. Click dolphin in the icons only task manager applet
4. Try to middle-click one window to close it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Doesn't close the window. Middle-clicking does nothing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Close the middle-clicked window.

Clicking on the 'X' in that view works, but in Plasma 5 it used to work with middle-click here too.

Works for me with those settings. Can you attach a screen recording that shows your exact Task Manager settings and depicts you reproducing the bug, so I can make sure I'm testing it correctly? Thanks!

Aha, you're not middle-clicking on a Task Manager icon itself, but rather on the window preview in the Window View effect that happens to get triggered by you activating a grouped task due to manually enabling the setting to do this. Can reproduce now.

Seems to be fixed with Plasma 6.0.1
