            Bug ID: 462079
           Summary: [wayland] Dolphin Sidebar Context Menu appears as
                    floating window when it is not focused
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
The context menu for Dolphin's left sidebar and its items appears as a floating
window in the center of the current display that Dolphin is on, if Dolphin is
not in focus when it is activated. This appears to only affect Dolphin, I can't
reproduce it in other applications.

If Dolphin is in focus, the context menu opens as normal. It also only affects
the context menu for the sidebar (the one that has "Places" and the folder
list, etc).

The window will also respond to mouse movement even if the mouse is not in the
"context menu window", highlighting the list elements as if the mouse is
hovering over them in the window. This is the case until the mouse moves into
the context menu window.

When the context menu window opens, Dolphin is not brought into focus of
course, but when the window is closed (either with the window's 'X' button or
by pressing the Escape key), Dolphin is then brought into focus.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Unfocus it (even just clicking on the desktop behind it will work)
3. Right click on the left sidebar of Dolphin
4. The context menu will appear as a flowing window in the center of that
display

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin's left sidebar context menu appears as a floating window when Dolphin
is not in focus 

EXPECTED RESULT
The left sidebar context menu should open as a regular context menu regardless
of window focus, and bring Dolphin into focus too.
