taskbar-app-switcher-win-11
SUMMARY
Accessing the n-th element from the taskbar is error-prone
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open 5 instances of Kate
2. move them to the background
3. from the taskbar, try to access the fifth instance of Kate directly
OBSERVED RESULT
One needs to position the mouse over tha kate icon on the taskbar, the move the
mouse on the adjacent preview of kate, and then move the mouse to the fifth
instance.
If the mouse drops for a moment from the taskbar preview (which happnes
normally when moving from the taskbar to the preview), then all previews are
closed.
EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to move the mouse directly from the taskbar to the desired distance,
even if the mouse leaves the taskbar/preview for a moment
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I do not think my description does a good work, so I've made 3 videos
https://fekir.info/multimedia/ui/context-menu-submenu-kde.webm shows that when
the mouse leaves the context menu, the submenu is not close immediately, and
thus one can easily access the n-th element directly
https://fekir.info/multimedia/ui/taskbar-app-switcher-win-11.webm shows that in
Windows the behavior is similar to context-menu-submenu-kde.webm and it is
possible to access directly the n-th instance of an application
https://fekir.info/multimedia/ui/taskbar-app-switcher-kde.webm shows that
accessing the n-th instance of an application is error-prone
