osk touchscreen gesture steals window focus
Affected version
All versions of Gnome 4x so far.
Bug summary
Gnome shell 43 Wayland session.
Not sure if this should be reported here or against mutter, please feel free to reassign accordingly.
Assume the following setting: current window in focus is not maximized, there is another maximized window behind it. When bringing up the osk via bottom up gesture, the current window in focus disappears behind the background window.
Steps to reproduce
- Place small window in front of maximized window
- Bring up osk via bottom up gesture
What happened
Small window disappeared behind maximized window.
What did you expect to happen
Small window should stay in focus.
Screencast
Please find a video demonstration here: https://youtube.com/shorts/TrkyqvAkV5o As you can see the console window disappears behind Gnome Software.
Why this is important
There are still many applications that do not bring up the osk on their own due to text-input-unstable protocol missing in their toolkit (e.g. electron or qt based apps), thus in practice one still needs to invoke the keyboard manually. This issue makes the experience considerably less practical.
