Unexpectedly closing windows and pop-up under KDE Plasma Wayland #135

Description

When running ClipCascade client on Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma on Wayland, all application windows experience significant lag. Specifically, "pop-up" menus such as the burger menu in Brave browser close automatically about 1 second after opening. This behavior affects both system and non-system applications. Quitting ClipCascade immediately resolves the lag and menu issues.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install and run Clipcascade client on Fedora 43 Kde Plasma Wayland (might be for any wayland session, need check)
  2. Login to your instance.
  3. Open an application with pop-up menu like Brave Browser
  4. Observe that the menu closes prematurely after 1 second.
  5. Quit ClipCascade
  6. Observe that the bug stops

Expected behaviour

Pop-up menus should remain open and responsive without lag when ClipCascade is running.

Actual behaviour

Pop-up menus close automatically after a short delay.

Example screen recordings

I’m not voluntarily closing the menus in these recordings.
