Bug ID: 422477
Summary: With focus follows mouse the behavior of plasma popup
widgets, including side popups like "add object" is
problematic
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: eristico+kde...@cryptolab.net

Target Milestone: 1.0

Popup closing with focus follows mouse
SUMMARY
When the window focus policy is set to follow the mouse, every plasma popup
widget closes every time you pass on a window. This is particularly problematic
when you want to add a new widget on a panel and you have to cross the whole
screen full of windows to access the "add object" side panel.
See screencap.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable mouse follows mouse
2. Put some window on screen
3. Right click on a panel and choose to add an object
4. Move the mouse over a window without clicking it
OBSERVED RESULT
The "add object" side panel or every other popup widget will close as soon as
you hover a window with your mouse. If you have a panel on the right side, you
have to do a gymkhana avoiding every window to access the "add object" side
panel.
EXPECTED RESULT
The same behavior that occurs on the click to focus policy: the popup widget
should remain open even when crossing a window with your mouse.
