            Bug ID: 478113
           Summary: Application Launcher/menu widget - wrong window focus
                    after opening and closing the menu
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Opening and closing the application menu (or application launcher) in the dock
via meta key, will take all focus for the current window, even if the menu is
closed, the focus seems still to be on the hidden menu, quick tile is not
possible anymore for the currently open window using shortcuts, unless you
clicked into the window via mouse to get the focus back. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Add a dock, add application launcher widget OR application menu widget to
the dock
2. Setup quick tile shortcuts, e.g. meta + left for left quick tile, meta +
above for fullscreen, and so on
3.  Open e.g. a browser (I used vivaldi)
4.  Press meta key to open the launcher
5. Press meta key again to close the launcher
6. try to quick tile the browser window via meta + left (nothing will happen
unless you click into the window)

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens unless you click again into the window

EXPECTED RESULT
Closing the menu will take back focus to the last application that have had the
latest current focus, which will allow me to quick tile the window using quick
tile shortcuts.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  EndeavourOS, KDE Plasma 6.0. Beta 1 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 6.0. Beta 1 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0  
Qt Version:  6.6.1


I am sure this will not only affect quick tile, probably also shortcuts that
would work inner the application if the focus is set onclose the menu back to
the latest application that have had the focus.
