SUMMARY Hovering over a folder in the folder widget opens a little preview of the content of such folder. With proper timing, I can switch virtual desktop right when a folder preview is opening, which results in the ability to get the preview to show in a virtual desktop where something else is in focus and/or the folder widget is not even visible. As you can see in the attachment, I even managed to do it twice in a row: at some point I opened the preview of a folder in a different virtual desktop and hovering on a folder inside such preview I opened an additional preview going back to the original virtual desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place a folder widget 2. Open a full-screen window in a virtual desktop adjacent to the current one 3. Over on a folder inside the folder widget and just before the preview appears switch to the next virtual desktop with a keyboard shortcut OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.4 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: llvmpipe Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 7052A9G System Version: ThinkCentre M91p ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I think this is part of a bigger problem, as sometimes these previews seem to even leak through windows so that I see previews appear while the folder widget is covered by an window, but I cannot reproduce this consistently.
