Description alex zhang 2025-07-21 13:09:24 UTC
Product: Konsole
Component: general (or sshmanager plugin if available)
Version: 25.04.3
Platform: Fedora 42 (KDE Plasma, Wayland)
Severity: Major
Priority: NOR
Summary: SSH plugin double-click fails after Konsole update to 25.04.3, related to Wayland and layout error
๐Ÿ“ Description:

After updating Konsole to version 25.04.3-1.fc42, the built-in SSH plugin stopped responding to double-click actions for launching connections.

Originally, the SSH plugin worked fine. After a few failed connection attempts due to misconfigured SSH keys, the entries became unresponsive to double-click. Even after fixing the SSH config and restarting Konsole, double-click does not work anymore โ€” it no longer triggers any SSH session launch.

Interestingly, if I add a new SSH config entry, then delete it, the first Konsole tab created at startup can briefly respond to double-click again โ€” but this workaround is inconsistent and unreliable.

This issue only began after the Konsole update. No other system-level changes were made. It appears related to Wayland popups and Qt layout errors.
๐Ÿงช Steps to Reproduce:

    Open Konsole 25.04.3 under Wayland on Fedora 42 KDE

    Use the SSH Manager plugin (enable via Settings > Show SSH Manager)

    Add an SSH config item pointing to a host

    Misconfigure the SSH key (to force a failed connection)

    Attempt to double-click to connect (fails as expected)

    Fix SSH key configuration

    Try to double-click the SSH config again โ€” nothing happens

    Remove and re-add the config โ€” still no effect

    Only the first tab responds, and only after add-delete cycles

๐Ÿ“‹ What I Expected:

    Double-click on SSH config item should trigger ssh session as before

    No layout or popup-related Qt errors in logs

๐Ÿ–ฅ System Information:

    OS: Fedora 42 KDE Plasma

    Display server: Wayland

    Konsole version: 25.04.3-1.fc42.x86_64

    SSH Agent running: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -D -a /run/user/1000/ssh-agent.socket

    Shell: zsh

๐Ÿชต Log Messages:

From journalctl during Konsole usage:

QLayout: Cannot add a null widget to QHBoxLayout/
qt.qpa.wayland: Creating a popup with a parent, QWidgetWindow(...) which does not match the current topmost grabbing popup...

SSH Agent confirmed running.
๐Ÿ” Attempts to Fix:

    Reinstalled Konsole

    Deleted old Konsole profiles (~/.local/share/konsole/)

    Tried fresh konsolerc config

    SSH plugin UI still renders, but does not trigger any connection on double-click

๐Ÿ’ก Additional Notes:

    Issue only happens under Wayland

    Might be focus, event, or popup-related regression from Qt or KWin

    Downgrading Konsole may be required if no workaround is found
