            Bug ID: 376987
           Summary: Screen brightness indicator treated as ordinary window
           Product: kwin
           Version: 5.9.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: effects-desktop-grid
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

Overview:

If you activate the desktop grid while the screen brightness indicator is
visible, then the brightness indicator is treated as an ordinary window with
respect to the grid window layout.

Steps to reproduce:

 - Open a few windows.
 - Change the screen brightness, causing the indicator to appear.
 - Quickly activate the desktop grid before the indicator disappears.

Actual and incorrect result:

Each desktop gets its own brightness indicator, and any other windows are
pushed aside to make room for them, until the indicators fade out and
disappear.

Expected result:

Subjective, but I think the screen brightness indicator would most naturally be
shown over anything including the desktop grid.

Bonus:

Here are some closely-related problems, possibly part of the same bug.

 - The brightness indicator is hidden while present windows is active.
 - The brightness indicator is not shown if you change the brightness when the
desktop grid is active.
