Eclipse editors do not immediately release focus when pressing Alt+TAB (Linux, KDE) about eclipse.platform.ui

I'm on KDE with plasma 5.27, I don't see the issue. Just a wild guess: are you using Wayland? If so, try X11 if that helps.

[LorenzoBettini]

I'm on Plasma 6.1, which is more recent.
I'm on Wayland, but I run Eclipse with GDK_BACKEND=x11

[LorenzoBettini]

However, you put me on the right track: running Eclipse without GDK_BACKEND=x11 (i.e., Wayland) in KDE Wayland solved the problem.

On Linux we have two kinds of issues: either browser crashes (so webkit broken again), or anything else is wrong, but in most cases it's related to Wayland.

We can't fix that in platform UI, so closing.

[LorenzoBettini]

OK, let's hope this "closed" issue might help someone experiencing the same.

Out of curiosity, are you on X11?

[iloveeclipse]

Yes, and will stay for next few years, I don't want to be a beta tester, neither I will that for our customers.

I found this article describes very good what I feel about X11/Wayland state: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wayland-2024.html

[LorenzoBettini]

To be honest, I found the opposite: Wayland is faster and less power consumption, anyway...

The problem seems to be only in Plasma: in Gnome Wayland (Fedora 40) I don't see this problem even when running Eclipse with GDK_BACKEND=x11,

Wayland or X11 has no clear winner - it depends on DE, apps, graphical card driver and even user preferences .
