https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483229 --- Comment #10 from Dean Hoover --- > by any chance are you using a scale factor below 100%, and is Chrome/Chromium running in native Wayland mode? I am running native Wayland on the laptop, but the scale factor is set to 100% (it was originally set to 125% by the OS when I first installed it but I changed it soon after). I read the bug you listed. Although my situation is with the scale factor at 100% I will try to sneak some time to see if lowering/raising the factor makes a dent.

Hmm... by any chance are you using a scale factor below 100%, and is Chrome/Chromium running in native Wayland mode? If so this sounds very much like Bug 477676. > Appreciate your time Nate.

[kwin] [Bug 483229] Sometimes unable to bring background apps to the front while Chrome/Chromium is running
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483229 --- Comment #8 from Dean Hoover --- The only apps that I've been able to recreate this is Google Chrome and UnGoogled Chromium. I don't use any other Chromium-based browser, and it doesn't seem to happen with Firefox. It's almost as if the browser believes that the window is larger than it actually is. For example, the browser window might be 800x1000 but it tells the DE that it's 800x1050 so that if the mouse clicks between the 1000 and 1050 the browser window becomes the foreground instead of the actual app that they are trying to get to. Unless you think this still might be a KDE issue, I think you can close this ticket. I also submitted feedback to Google but I honestly don't think they will say or do anything about it. And now that I have a better grasp of where and when it happens, I can adjust the way I do things to mitigate the issue. Appreciate your time Nate. I've been a UNIX and Linux server user and administrator for almost 40 years, but every DE I've tried never worked well enough for me. KDE has changed my mind, and if it wasn't for a couple Windows-only apps (Cisco ASDM, Teams' ability to take control of PC, etc) I'd be 100% Linux and KDE for work and home. Keep up the great work!
