Bug ID: 497596
Summary: Panel becomes a separate, interactable application
after focus shortcut in Plasma 6.2+
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: matiyuk...@gmail.com
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0

Both panels are displayed as individual 'plasmashell' instances in the task
switcher
SUMMARY
Panel turns into a separate application and can be overlapped by other windows
after being focused via shortcut in KDE Plasma 6.2+
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Panel settings.
2. Set a shortcut for "Focus" (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+\[ in my case).
3. Close the settings.
4. Press the assigned shortcut to focus the panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
After pressing the shortcut:
- The panel turns into a separate application, as can be seen in the task
manager/window switcher (it gets its own icon and entry).
- The panel can be overlapped by other application windows. This makes the
panel inactive and unusable until it's selected via Task Switcher.
- Restarting the `plasmashell` process temporarily resolves the issue until the
shortcut is pressed again.
- The panel keeps this incorrect behavior until a system reboot, or manual kill
of the "plasmashell" process as mentioned before.
EXPECTED RESULT
The panel should be focused after pressing the shortcut but should remain a
normal panel, not a separate application. It should behave as a panel, not like
a regular window.
