So with KDE 6, X11 support is sub-par… so I am attempting to switch to Wayland because I see a noticeable framerate drop when shaking the wobbly windows in an X11 session. Of course this doesn’t mean Wayland performs better than X11, it just means the KDE devs don’t care enough to fix KDE 6 X11 support and make it performas good as KDE 5 did.
Anyway, there’s a pretty big bug now with the Dr460nized Mac-like menubar under Wayland (this does not happen in X11)…
Applications now lose focus when they open a child window. The menubar will lose all its menus and just say “Dr460ized KDE” as if you clicked the desktop When the window closes it does not properly return focus to theapplication. Some apps will be stuck in this state and you can’t get focus with menu options in the bar untilyou click something else (another app or the desktop) and then back to the application window. Others will go into a weird mixed up state where it will say “Dr460ized KDE” but the menu options come back.
In GIMP if you open filter dialog, the menubar changes from GIMP to this “Dr460ized KDE” state. If you cancel the filter dialog, rather than returning to say “GNU Image Manipulation Program”, it will still say “Dr460ized KDE”… however the GIMP menus are also there.
Other apps such as Quartus Prime will get stuck in a state with no menubar if you open and then close a child window. You have to click off and on to get it back. This is extremely disrupting to workflow, as well as feeling extremely broken. Unfortunately clicking the menubar or dock icon doesn’t even return focus to the menubar.
I avoided switching to Wayland under KDE 5 because it wasn’t ready. Now we’re basically forced to switch via KDE 6 and it still isn’t ready. But really I’m not sure what side of everything is responsible for this bug? Wayland? KDE 6? Both?
There’s only one solution I’ve found to get around this bug (besides switching back to X11 and dealing with bad performance and other bugs)… focus follows mouse. I’d love to use focus follow mouse except for one major issue… it’s not very well suited for the menubar because moving the mouse between a window and the menubar often causes you to lose focus by the time you get there… if not from crossing another window, it happens constantly by the useless desktop stealing focus.
Is there any way to make the desktop unable to steal focus? I don’t even use folder view, I don’t need the desktop at all. If I could just have a wallpaper that is completely non-interactive, that would be great. I’m guessing this is impossible though.
