Bug ID: 463282
Summary: KDE Wayland blocks pressing Meta key and freezes all
widgets and panels on Desktop when playing Steam game
or using some apps e.g Vivaldi
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwayland-integration
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: zeskot...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I am playing any game on Steam, I want to press Meta/Window-key to open
KDE menu and minimize this game, but in reality the pressing Meta-key does not
work and this game does not be minized and stays on Desktop. I saw all widgets
e.g. the clock and system monitoring are froren on my other monitor (That
means, they are blocked by Wayland when playing gaming or some apps e.g
Vivaldi).
I have to manually click and close the game with the mouse, then the pressing
Meta-key works back fine and all widgets are unlocked by Wayland.
OR
I have to move the mouse cursor OUTSIDE of any game or the window of some app
e.g.Vivaldi, then the Meta-key and all widgets are free.
That happens after some KDE update. But I am sure KDE Wayland had no issue
before this update.
Switch to X11 that has no isssue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go KDE Wayland and use the latest version of KDE plasma on Manjaro Testing
branch
2. Playing Steam game e.g. Dota 2 or using some browser e.g. Vivaldi (the
mouse stays on this app more than 5 min)
3. Pressing Meta/Window-key
4. But this game is not minimized to the panel and KDE menu does not be
opened. ----> Issue, because Meta-Key is blocked or frozen by Wayland
5. See a widget e.g. the clock is frozen too.
OBSERVED RESULT
- Pressing Meta-key does not work because it is blocked by Wayland or Kwin when
playing game or using some app.
- All widgets are frozen or blocked by Wayland on my other monitor.
EXPECTED RESULT
- Pressing Meta-key should work and does not be blocked like before.
- All widgets should not be frozen when playing any game or using some app.
