Do any of these issues stop happening in a Wayland session?
🐛🧹 This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 30 days. Closing as RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
None of these are reproducible on Wayland + Fedora 42: * The popup doesn't close when clicking on an item in taskbar to restore/minimize a window. * The popup doesn't close when click-dragging on the desktop (Folder View). * The popup doesn't close when using a different app (e.g. Chrome) and clicking in its window. * The popup doesn't close when opening K-menu. Still reproducible on X11 + same system. Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 16 ГиБ of RAM (15.4 ГиБ usable) Graphics Processor 1: Intel® HD Graphics 530 Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
All of those work for me on Wayland. At this point I'm leaning towards there being something in your user account causing it. Can you reproduce those issues in a Wayland session of a new clean user account on the same system?
Perhaps notably, I can reproduce these issues for the Alternatives popup when it's invoked from a *desktop* widget: Bug 511335. Just not from a panel widget.
