Bug ID: 501712
Summary: Clicking on thumbnail in Task Switcher thumbnail grid
does nothing
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: tabbox
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@ngo.org.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I want to select a window by first Alt-Tab, then with Alt still held down,
click the window to select.
I believe this is supposed to work (discussion:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/switching-windows-with-task-switcher-by-clicking/31711),
so I'm filing this bug to get assistance on troubleshooting until it does.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open multiple windows
2. Press Alt-Tab, with Task Switcher configured to show "Thumbnail Grid"
3. Keep Alt held down, click on one of the thumbnails to switch to that window
OBSERVED RESULT
Moving the mouse over the thumbnail causes the x-in-a-red-circle that appears
on hover to appear. However, clicking the thumbnail, or the X, does nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
The clicked window should be selected.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Operating System: Kubuntu 24.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.11.0-19-generic (64-bit)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In case it makes a difference, I also have set:
Window activation policy: Focus follows mouse
Delay focus by: 0ms
This is a very new install of Kubuntu (< 48h old), and this behaviour has been
present since it was installed.
In all other respects the mouse behaves as I would expect w.r.t. clicking on
menus, windows, dragging items around, etc. It's only in the Task Switcher grid
that clicking does nothing.
Left, middle, and right mouse buttons all do nothing in the thumbnail grid. If
I use the scrollwheel the selected window **does** change, jumping 5 windows at
a time with each distinct scroll.
This may be a dupe of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481267, but that was
marked resolved over a year ago, so I expect the fix has been released by now
(given the comment in the discussion I linked to earlier).
