            Bug ID: 392289
           Summary: After activating "Show desktop," clicking on window in
                    task manager does not get focus properly
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icons-only Task Manager
          Assignee: h...@kde.org
          Reporter: battagli...@gmail.com

  Target Milestone: 1.0

I'm on Plasma 5.12.3 in KDE Neon.

If I activate Show Desktop (Meta-D on my setup), all windows are swiped to the
corners (but not minimized).

If I then click on a program in the task manager that is open, that window does
not get focus. Instead, Show Desktop un-does itself, but leaves the last active
window focused.

A simple way to reproduce is as follows:

1. Open a program, let's say Firefox. Keep it non-minimized
2. Open a different program, let's say Dolphin. Keep this non-minimized
3. Give Dolphin focus
4. Hit Ctrl-F12 to show desktop
5. Now click on the Firefox icon in the task manager
6. Windows come back, Dolphin still has focus.

There are some strange exceptions to this behavior:
1. If Dolphin is active, but Firefox is minimized, then when you click Firefox
after showing desktop, Firefox *does* get focus (and un-minimizes).
2. If Dolphin is active and Firefox isn't open at all, just "pinned" to the
task manager, then clicking Firefox opens the program and gives it focus.

I've tried this with both the icons-only task manager and the regular one. This
should be changed so that clicking a window gives it focus no matter what.
