SUMMARY
Sometimes an error message appears after click on "Launch" button. If Discover is maximized when this happens, it is unexpectedly unmaximized.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Persepolis with .deb package downloaded from
https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis/releases/tag/5.1.0
2. open Discover. If it is not maximized, do it.
3. search for Persepolis and click on it
4. click on "Launch" button on top

OBSERVED RESULT
an error message appears and Discover is unmaximized. Please watch the attached screen recording.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-05-06 16:23:10 UTC
What the heck
Comment 3 LeoBeliik 2025-06-30 12:53:14 UTC
it seems to happen with any popup, for example, it happens when uninstalling an app and the popup for extra packages being uninstalled shows and unmaximizes discover.
Comment 4 John Veness 2025-07-03 10:03:14 UTC
Confirmed here too.

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250701
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.15.4-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

(does it in Wayland too).

I think this is recent - started in 6.4.0 maybe.

Can trivially reproduce with Discover's dummy backend (`plasma-discover --backends dummy`) by maximizing the window and then clicking on the "To who?" button.

I can't reproduce with dialogs in System Settings or NeoChat, so it looks like it's Discover-specific.
