(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Clicking on the widget or pressing the Escape key don't work, either. Pressing escape works after you click back on the popup. Also this bug affects any other widget popups when they are placed on the desktop, e.g. application launcher.

Git commit fcaa31ee87b2a9a23dd9303e2d3162801e489d5f by Nicolas Fella, on behalf of Alexey Rochev. Committed on 30/12/2025 at 13:04. Pushed by nicolasfella into branch 'master'. Fix hideOnWindowDeactivate in Dialog and AppletPopup Commit 65b00fa6b7c9f2942979f3fcafe5f03d3f4ebbbd brought QuickViewSharedEngine to libplasma from KDeclarative, but also changed the logic of hiding of Dialog on focus change from checking for QuickViewSharedEngine to SharedQmlEngine, which is likely a typo. QWindow can never be cast to SharedQmlEngine (I think?) so this qobject_cast always returns nullptr.
