Description Pedro Boschi 2024-03-18 13:57:06 UTC
SUMMARY
KDE / application window become unresponsive if a message notification pops-up while hovering over the open windows in toolbar.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a browser with two or more windows (not only tabs)
2. Open Konsole
3. Execute this in Konsole:
`sleep 5 && notify-send foo bar`
4. Immediately after the command above is entered in Konsole, hover the mouse button on top of the browser icon in the Toolbar, in order for the "thumbnails" of both windows to be displayed, and then hover the mouse over one of them, but DO NOT CLICK and keep the mouse pointer in place.
5. Wait until the notification from the command #3 to pop up.

OBSERVED RESULT
The hovered window will be displayed but will be unresponsive. On the other monitor the desktop wallpaper will be displayed.
In order to make things work again (return to being responsive) I simply hit Alt + Tab.

EXPECTED RESULT
The notification pop-up should not interfere with the windows browsing.

Thanks for the very detailed and high quality bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to get to it until now. Replicating your steps exactly, I can't reproduce the issue in Plasma 6.2. I tested with a playing YouTube video open in the browser window whose thumbnail I was hovering over, so make sure I could notice if it froze or got stuck; it didn't. I actually randomly happen to have the exact same CPU and GPU as you do, so we can even rule our GPU driver issues.

Therefore it seems like this issue may already be fixed in Plasma 6.2, and I'll mark it as such. However if after upgrading to Plasma 6.2, you find that you can still reproduce the issue, go ahead and re-open this ticket, and we'll investigate.

Thanks again!
