Bug ID: 462574
Summary: On Wayland, window's doesn't become active when
calling QWidget::activateWindow and QWidget::raise
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: m.wegh...@posteo.de
Target Milestone: ---

Sample app to reproduce
SUMMARY
On X11, raising a window can be done by calling QWidget::activateWindow and
QWidget::raise. However, that does not have the desired effect in a Plasma
Wayland session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. run a KDE Plasma Wayland session
1. compile attached sample program against Qt 6
2. run sample program
3. click the "raise other window button" in window "two"
OBSERVED RESULT
The window "one" is highlighted in the taskbar, but does not become the active
window instead of window "two"
EXPECTED RESULT
Window "one" should become the active window, as is the case when run on X11.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It works as expected when run with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb, i.e. forcing use of
Qt's xcb platform plugin.
For Qt 5, this is not expected to work since QWindow::requestActivate isn't
handled there on Qt side and I don't know whether the underlying problem(s) is
in Qt or KWin or elsewhere.
This issue was originally reported against LibreOffice,
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152205#c7 contains some
more information on 2 scenarios that fail in different ways and might haver
different root causes. (A LibreOffice scenario with gtk3 integration works on
GNOME, but not KDE Plasma. The sample Qt app doesn't work in any of them, so
there might be different issues.)
