With sidebar tabs enabled, large parts of the waterfox window become unclickable.

jbonomi commented 5 months ago

What happened?

When I enable the sidebar tabs, I notice that only a small section of the window remains clickable. I cannot click anything in the toolbar or a large section of the displayed web site. Sometimes resizing the window appears to fix it, but not always. In order to disable the tab sidebar, I need to open a new tab and select the "Show Tab Sidebar" button using the keyboard, because it does not respond to clicks.

Another thing I notice is that when I enable sidebar tabs, KWin seems to lose track of Waterfox's association with the .desktop file, because it has a generic Wayland icon. Maybe it's related to Wayland/KWin? It may also have something to do with maximizing or tiling the window, because problems seem especially likely after doing either of those things.

Reproducible?

[X] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox. (Not a feature included in Firefox)

Same! It happens to me on EndeavourOS, Plasma on Xorg, NVIDIA Drivers, Linux Zen kernel with aur/waterfox-bin G6.0.16-1 package! When this bug occurs, some portions of the window can be clicked through, and you will click on the desktop instead.

The only workaround I found is to enable the titlebar. Changing between native and custom titlebar will also trigger this issue and a restart is needed.

Seems that the issue is caused by KDE Plasma's compositor, whenever it's Wayland or X11. Maybe it's caused by a desktop effect. I will send another comment to see if I can find which effect causes that.

Having the same issue on Fedora 40 + Plasma 6.1.3, running Waterfox G6.0.17. It doesn't appear to be an issue until I have more than three Waterfox windows open. Also, the one that is doing it (the 4th window) will sometimes lose focus when I do try to click on something, and the click will sort of "go through" the window. Like, I'll try to close the tab sidebar, but I'll end up clicking on a link in the other window below it, which will suddenly pop into focus.

Switching back to Tree Style Tab instead, which is not exhibiting this behaviour, and was what I was using on Firefox before anyway.

I used to have this on every single window. Now clicks on every window that's not the first one "go through", though the first window works.
