--- Comment #17 from Matt Whitlock <[email protected]> --- Quoting myself from Bug 460961 Comment 3 because I think it's relevant here, and I wouldn't want these details to be missed: «Playing around with this a little more, I think I see what is happening. KWin *does* treat unfocusable windows differently in that it always passes clicks through to them even if "Inactive Inner Window Actions" for left-clicks is set to "Activate and raise." The difficulty is that the plasmashell panel is made focusable whenever it is displaying any popup window such as a tooltip or popup menu. Whenever it is in this "focusable but unfocused" state, left-clicking on it merely focuses on it but does not pass the click through to it. You can see this if you click on the launcher button to open the applications menu and then click on the launcher button again. The applications menu will not be hidden by your second click, as that click merely transfers focus from the popup menu back to the panel window. A third click on the launcher button will close the applications menu because that click is passed to the panel window since it is focusable and focused. Once the applications menu is closed, the panel window is made unfocusable again, and indeed focus transfers back to whatever window had the focus before you opened the applications menu.» Also, the problem is not specific to the Plasmashell panels. The problem in KWin's click-passing logic also affects other applications that display tooltips. From Bug 460961 Comment 2: «For instance, open a Dolphin window, right-click on the empty space in the files view, hover over Properties, wait for the tooltip to appear, and then click on Properties. Your click won't be passed to the context menu but instead will only cause the tooltip to be hidden.» -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
