Bug ID: 504943
Summary: Mouse cursor does not switch context after switching
activities
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.3.5
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: activities

Mouse cursor has a characteristic shape indicating that it is over a clickable
link in a browser opened in another activity
SUMMARY
Switching activities using a shortcut (palsmashell's "Walk through activities")
leaves the focus under the mouse cursor on the previous activity.
The attached image illustrates how it may visually appear: the mouse cursor has
a shape indicating that it is over a link in a browser opened in the second
activity. Clicking the mouse sends the clicks to the second activity. Under
some circumstances, after that, even keyboard events are sent to the second
activity. For instance, one can select text in an editor opened in the second
activity using the mouse and then replace that text by typing.
Having a browser (either Firefox or Chrome) open, even if it's may be the key
part of the bug.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
On my computer, it is reliably reproduced by the following steps
1. On one activity, open an editor (say, Kate, but it doesn't matter) and type
several lines of text
2. Switch to the second activity by a shortcut (in my case, it's Meta-A)
3. In the second activity, select the part of the screen covered by the Kate
window in the first activity, and press a symbolic button (say, 'd')
OBSERVED RESULT
Switch back to the first activity and see the text in Kate replaced by 'd'.
EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing should happen with the text in a different activity.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
