Description

On launching lxqt-session using the Desktop module or from the cli lxqt-session --desktop then spawning a new window, the window is not focused nor movefocus l/r/u/d. It appears that the desktop grabbed focus and won't let go? It was also reported that xfdesktop exhibits the same symptom.

lxqt/lxqt-wayland-session#57 (comment)

How to reproduce

1. Start LXQt 2.1 Wayland session using Hyprland as the wm/compositor and Desktop module enabled (default) or start Hyprland Wayland session and lxqt-session --desktop pcmanfm-qt --desktop
2. With no windows openned
3. Launch an application via keybind or LXQt Fancy Menu (launcher)
4. Note the application doesn't have focus
5. Mouse click or move mouse if follow mouse enabled
6. Launching additional applications work as expected once a window has focus
7. Closing all the windows and launcher an app will exhibit the symptoms again

Additional info & File uploads

Originally, I opened an issue with the lxqt-wayland-session project. It's been closed and they directed me to open a Hyprland issue.

I hate the title I gave this issue, but insufficient understanding to give a better one.

As I can confirm it, just a little correction:

• follow_mouse=0 has to be set
• the command to start the desktop is pcmanfm-qt --desktop and has to be executed from a launcher (not a terminal window). No window has to be open to test it.

Any app opened in any way will not receive focus, until one got focus manually, after that it's fine.

@stefonarch, thank you. I updated my original post to use the correct command and clarify no windows can be opened prior to application launch.
