Summary

This patch changes the behaviour of opening applications with multiple windows open in the icons-only task manager. Currently, accidentally mousing over another open application steals focus and closes the thumbnail view. This patch amends that.

BUG: 358930

Depends on D10305

You should increase minimal required plasma-framework version to 5.44 but when you do this the patch goes to master i.e. 5.13.

Thanks for doing this! A few notes:

  • Put "BUG: 358930" on its own line in the Summary; this will cause that bug to get closed once this goes in.
  • Put "Depends on D10305" on its own line in the Summary to mark that this patch requires the changes introduced in that other one.
  • No need to mention the bug number in the title (which becomes the commit message).
  • You'll want to mark Réne as the author; to do this, first do git commit --amend --author=" René Fürst <rene@fuerst.biz>" and then arc diff to update the diff.

Can't seem to get the patches to apply properly. Anyone else that's gotten them to work?

If the other patch applies properly, and is correctly marked as a dependency of this one, I think you can re-base this on master and it will work. But I'm pretty rubbish at dependent patches myself and will let someone else take over,

Looking through the diff and master branch, it looks like parts of the functions has changed since René patched it, which seems to cause issues. I'll try to sort it out.

New diff and revision. Assuming that the diff was made correctly, this should work.
Correctly set Rene as autho
