Bug#951041: kde-standard: kde plasma upper right corner menu does not open any more after opening any application
Package: kde-standard
Version: 5:104
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I installed bullseye testing at first with xfce only and later added kde-standard
via apt-get install kde-standard. I believe the issue is not hardware dependent
but I used an AMD64 (intel celeron) based ACER laptop (Acer TravelMate B).
When logging in to kde plasma the menu at the top right corner opens normaly
(any number of times), but as soon as any application is started (through a
desktop icon or the K menu) the menu at the upper right corner of the desktop
does not respond anymore (does not open when left-clicking with mouse).
Logging out and in of the desktop (without restarting the computer)
makes the menu available again up to the point that any application is started,
which is the same behaviour as the first log in after computer startup.
It appears to be independent of an internet connection being available or not.
Closing all application does not make the menu available again (only logging
out and in of the desktop makes it available until again an application is
started).
I think it is an important usability issue as this menu is supposed to work
through the whole session and may be an apparent bug to a large audience.
Note that this bug may be applied to kde-plasma-desktop rather than kde-standard
meta-package but I cannot be sure on this so I chose kde-standard for reporting.
Thank you,
Raphael
