Bug ID: 455758
Summary: Activated windows are not raised to front in Wayland
session
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jonat...@sparky.nz
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have an issue where windows aren't raised to the foreground when they become
active by an action in another window. For example, clicking a link in an
email opens the link in Firefox, but the Firefox window remains in the
background. Another example is if I have the Plasma System Settings application
open in the background then go into the Plasma Application Launcher and click
on an item like "Display Configuration', it opens that configuration item in
the System Settings window but it stays in the background behind any other open
windows. I've tried all options of the "Focus stealing prevention" as suggested
in the forum posts I've found online about this kind of issue, but nothing
seems to change.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to a Plasma Wayland desktop session from SDDM
2. Open the System Settings application
3. Open another application (e.g. Konsole) and leave in front of System
Settings window
4. From the Application Launcher widget, select a System settings configuration
section (eg. "Colors")
5. The System Settings application changes view to that configuration section
(eg. the "Colors" settings screen), but the System Settings window stays in the
background behind the Konsole window.
OBSERVED RESULT
The activated window isn't raised to the front or given focus. It stays behind
the other windows that are open in front of it.
EXPECTED RESULT
The activated window is raised to the front and given focus.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: n/a
macOS: n/a
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Another example scenario is when a hyperlink is clicked in an email, the URL
opens in Firefox but the window stays behind all the other windows and not
brought to front/focus.
I have confirmed that this behaviour is also observed in Kubuntu 22.04 (Plasma
5.24.4), Debian 11 (Plasma 5.20.5) & Fedora 36 (I think Plasma 5.24.4).
The "EXPECTED RESULT" above is how it works for me on an X11 session.
Graphics Processor: Intel HD Graphics 620
