I have trouble reproducing this. Kinda like the Doppelspalt experiment, whenever I try to record it it works. When rightclicking on the panel, and clicking "add widgets", often the widget bar did not show, just the normal "zoom out once" happens, not the "zoom to the side" Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.8-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics
I can confirm this bug. Happens only when panel settings is open.
*** Bug 490403 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
How I managed to reproduce this: 1. Right click on a panel 2. Select "Add widgets" 3. Click on panel to open its configuration 4. Right click on panel and select "Add widgets" again 5. The bug may already happen here, but if not, keep clicking on "Add widgets" in the panel right click context menu It seems to be opening and closing very rapidly

Git commit 889fd773c65b0a557dcffce4017b4ce1b6d12781 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 15/08/2024 at 16:29. Pushed by niccolove into branch 'master'. Only requestActivate the panel config if the focus switches from applet popups to desktop This is because if some other window (e.g. the widget sidebar) takes focus while a popup is open, we don't want to ask focus back from that new window.
