Description git.xerox732 2025-10-04 16:27:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
Currently when using 'Focus Follows Mouse' using panel widgets popups such as wifi menu or clipboard history or even App menu when there is active window below causes it to lose focus and is really hard to navigate the panel widget popups.. It would be great if there is a option to exclude the panel widgets from the Focus Follows Mouse so the popups only lose focus on click outside the popups.
I found this KDE Discuss with no comments related to this
https://discuss.kde.org/t/focus-follows-mouse-and-popup-menus/36217

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Enable Focus Follows mouse from the system settings
2.  click on panel widgets like Wifi or clipboard history
3.  Move the mouse to a active window

OBSERVED RESULT
The popup is closed

EXPECTED RESULT
The popup remains until clicked somewhere else
