Bug ID: 454847
Summary: An invisible applet icon is always present in top left
when using Wayland
Product: kwayland-integration
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dylanwolt...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---

Right clicking in the very top left corner acts as if a power menu applet is
present. In this case, Discord - but it will interact upon the most recently
launched applet.
SUMMARY:
When using Wayland, the top left portion of the screen has an always-present
(albeit invisible) button which seems to interact with the latest "Power Menu"
applet. This bug takes precedence over anything in that region - including
other widgets, windows, etc. Right clicking, hovering, and clicking all perform
the exact same behavior as if you were interacting with a PowerMenu applet.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Launch KDE using Wayland
2. Click in top-left corner while an application with a power-menu applet is
available (E.g. Megasync, Discord, openRGB, etc.)
OBSERVED RESULT:
Interacts with powermenu applet regardless of what other window, widget, or
application elements are present in that region.
EXPECTED RESULT:
Interaction should be imposed upon whatever elements are visually present in
that region.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (x86_64) with 5.18.1-arch-1-1 kernel.
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To better identify the cause of this bug, I have fiddled around with panels,
widgets (particularly Power Menu), placement, etc. Initially, I had my panel
placed along the top portion of the screen - with Application Launcher on the
left, and powermenu toward the right. Reversing the placement of these items
does not affect the bug. Similarly, I moved the panel to the bottom of the
screen and still experienced this bug. Lastly, I removed power menu all
together and still experience this bug.
The only way that I have found to regain control of that portion of the screen
is to manually close all applications that may have Power Menu applets. Once
none are present, then that region behaves as one would expect.
