Bug ID: 520339
Summary: Dragging unfocused windows using meta + left click
does not give them focus
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.6.5
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
I often use the meta + left-click functionality to drag windows around (very
convenient as you can click anywhere on the window). But if I do that with
windows that are unfocused they do stay unfocused even while I drag them
around. This can result in the moving window being obscured by the active
window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open two apps/windows (e.g. dolphin, firefox)
2. Click into one of them (e.g. firefox) to make sure it is focused
3. Press the meta key, left click the unfocused window (e.g. dolphin) and drag
it around.
OBSERVED RESULT
The window being dragged is unfocused (assumption made based on the theming and
behavior) causing it to stay behind the currently focused one. Window needs to
be explicitly left-clicked before or after dragging for it to gain focus.
EXPECTED RESULT
The meta + left-click drag feature should behave the same way as left-clicking
the title bar (as in it should give the window focus and keep it in the front).
