Description Adam Williamson 2023-12-04 19:12:10 UTC
Since Plasma 6 landed, there's a problem with LibreOffice Impress' state on startup. When it starts up, it shows a "Select a Template" window, which blocks interaction with the main window. However, almost always, the main window - not the "Select a Template" window - is active (this may be a timing thing; it's been causing the openQA test to fail consistently, testing locally, about 4 out of 5 times, it loads this way. The other time, the Select a Template window is active and things work as expected).

Unless you hit 'alt-tab' to activate the Select a Template window, this blocks some keyboard interaction - I think keypresses are being sent to the main window, but the Select a Template window is blocking interaction with it, so they do nothing. Tab does nothing, enter does nothing, alt-f4 does nothing (though hitting Esc does close the window). Hitting random letter keys seems to affect the category drop-down, but I can't find any way to actually cycle through the templates and select one, for instance.

I think the Select a Template window should always be active at startup (when it's configured to be shown at all).

I'm not sure who this bug actually belongs to, but if it belongs with kwin, can this be reported upstream?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.
