SUMMARY
If you have multiple screens and multiple virtual desktops (like: two monitor
setup and 8 virtual desktops) with windows scattered over both screens, then
switching from virtual desktop to another, doing some work there and then
switching back to previous one will change the window having focus.
Another way to put this down: Focus is given based on last active screen
priority rather than last active window priority.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Prepare setup with two virtual desktops and two screens (monitors). Open two
windows on desktop 1, one on each screen and two windows on desktop 2, also one
on each screen.
2. Give window on screen 1 on desktop 1 focus.
3. Switch to desktop 2
4. Give window on screen 2 on desktop 2 focus.
5. Switch back to desktop 1.
OBSERVED RESULT
Window on screen 2 will have focus once you activate desktop 1.
EXPECTED RESULT
Historically (since at least KDE 3.2) the behavior KWin followed was that focus
would be given to window on screen 1 as this was the last window focused when I
left the desktop. This also makes sense from the point of view that I never
commanded the system to change the focus.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Session is using Wayland as compositor. This behavior is present for quite some
time but now it got really annoying that I have tons of windows on tons of
desktops and I always have to switch windows after switching desktops because
focus is always wrong.
