SUMMARY *** Running v6RC2 on a three-monitor setup. When I right-click on a panel that contains a task manager applet and select "edit mode", the plasmashell edit mode launches, and the new positiong widget shows up. However, another context menu from the task manager overlays the edit mode positioning widget with options "remove" "configure" "show alternatives". In this case, I cannot use ESC key to close the edit mode. If I press ESC, the overlaying context menu will close, the windows will fly back in, but the edit mode toolbar at the top of the screen remains. Also the panel remains in the hover/focus state with blue border. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. right click on panel with task manager applet to open edit mode 2. see that edit mode top panel appers, edit mode positioning widget appears, and a context menu for task manager ("remove" "configure" "show alternatives") 3. press ESC key to close edit mode as usual 4. edit mode will remain open OBSERVED RESULT edit mode not closed with ESC key EXPECTED RESULT edit mode closes with ESC key as usual SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.9.3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can't reproduce on wayland -- ESC correctly exits the edit mode for me.
I can reproduce. 1 Monitor + Wayland KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.7.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Can also reproduce in a VM running Neon unstable.
I also had a situation earlier where if you habe closed the edit mode and right click on the panel on another monitor, the context menu still shows "exit edit mode" instead of enter edit mode.
On my single and dual-screen setups--all on Wayland with Qt 6.6.0--when I execute those steps, the first Esc keystroke closes the panel config window, and the second Esc keystroke exits from global edit mode.
For me the situation is as follow after entering "panel edit mode" with windows behind: 1. if i don't exit the panel (still hover on it) i cannot exit using ESC 2. if i hover on the middle part and press ESC a. the first ESC, bring me with "panel edit mode" open and windows behind b. the second ESC: the top bar with "edit mode" option remain but is under the other windows and the panel has still blue bar and config buttom on the left to re-enter panel mode c. pressing extra ESC, does nothing. To fix i need to switch to another virtual desktop and back.

Ok, I can confirm this. The per-applet hover overlay blocks the Esc key from closing Edit Mode while it's open. Probably Esc should close it, so that subsequent Esc keypresses can close other things.
