Bug ID: 513215
Summary: Browser won't come to the front when any app launches
a URL link.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
This appears to be a known bug but I cannot find the actual bug report to add
to.
Web browsers (any) do not come to the front when a new link is opened from any
application when running under WAYLAND. But they do when using xWAYLAND so this
makes no sense.
When clicking a link in an email or other application, the web browser (chrome,
firefox, etc) will open a new tab and load the page but will not come to the
front with focus.
On the command line, this command will not bring the browser tot he front like
it should if the browser is already open in the background. The page will load
but the browser doesn't get focus.
xdg-open https://google.com
If I launch chrome with the "--ozone-platform=x11", then the above command will
bring chrome into focus as well as any other application that opens a link. So
clearly, chrome can get focus.
I cannot figure out how to make firefox work correctly but chrome is my main
browser.
