Describe the bug

Since KDE 5.25 landed in unstable a couple of months ago, desktop shortcuts like Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-V, etc. occasionally stop working.

E.g. sporadically Alt-Tab would stop functioning. It won't work for a minute or so and come back. Nothing shows up in journalctl -f --user during that time.

I'm running KDE on Wayland.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install NixOS unstable with KDE
  2. Try to use it

Expected behavior

Alt-Tab should always work...

I think I've localized the problem to windows of "Chromium Web Apps". I.e. window switching between regular chrome (and other windows) works fine. But if I Alt+Tab into Chromium Web App window, then I can't Alt+Tab out of it.

As well, all as all other global shortcuts are blocked while any Chromium Web App window is in focus.

Whatever Chrom(ium) is doing, I don't think it should be able to block global shortcuts...
