Description Eamonn Rea 2024-06-24 20:34:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
When the window transparency effect is enabled for grabbed windows, grabbing a window (which makes it transparent) and switching to another virtual desktop with a keyboard shortcut will cause the window transparency effect on that window to disappear while it is grabbed. Re-grabbing the window correctly re-enables the effect.

This is a regression since Plasma 6.0.5, which did correctly preserve the window transparency effect.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable transparency for grabbed windows.
2. Grab a window
3. Move to another virtual desktop while holding the window by using a keyboard shortcut
4. The window transparency effect disappears.

OBSERVED RESULT
The window transparency effect disappears for grabbed windows when switching to another virtual desktop while holding the window.

EXPECTED RESULT
Window transparency should be preserved like in Plasma 6.0.5 and below.
