Bug ID: 480227
Summary: The active window does not change when pressing other
tablet pen buttons than the pen tip button
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.92.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you have a window focused (if you type on the keyboard the input will end up
in that window), and middle mouse click on an other window, the focus will
switch as expected.
However if you instead use a tablet and do the equivalent of middle mouse
clicking, the click event will be passed to the correct window, but the focus
will not change.
This makes it really annoying to use the pen in software like Blender/Krita as
you have to first tap with the pen on the window to make it respond to keyboard
shortcut.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita and draw something.
2. Open a terminal (konsole) and set it to "always on top" and type something
in there
3. Use the tablet pen button to pan around in Krita.
4. Without taping with the pen on the Krita window, try to use any shortcuts
OBSERVED RESULT
All key presses ends up in the konsole window, even after explicitly
interacting with Krita window.
EXPECTED RESULT
The equivalent of right click and middle mouse click on the tablet pen should
focus the window just like it does with the mouse.
This is how it works the Xorg version of Plasma (and also in Gnome X11/Wayland)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
