Now I want to check my telegram and I ALT+TAB and use the directional keys to navigate to telegram. In this process, if I press the left directional key, the window selection moves left (cyclic) as well as the youtube video rewinds by 5 seconds. If I press the right directional key, the window selection moves right (cyclic) and the youtube video forwards by 5 seconds. Similar effect can be noticed on pressing up and down directional keys (volume up and down respectively). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open 3 or more applications. One of them should have some visual or audio effect on pressing directional keys. 2. ALT+TAB and navigate using directional pad. 3. Release ALT+TAB when we have reached the desired application. OBSERVED RESULT The selected application is brought into focus along with the previously active application registering the key strokes resulting in abnormal behaviour. EXPECTED RESULT The selected application is brought into focus while the previous application should have no effect of directional keys.

Is this involving an application using XWayland? Does it work properly if you go to "Legacy X11 App Support" in System Settings and set it to "Never"? If so, this is the same issue as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484992

Sorry for the duplication I didn't know how to phrase this issue in the search and this didn't find it.
