I dont know if the title makes much sense, but I’ll explain as much as I can here to (hopefully) make it make sense. I want to report this issue to the kde team, but I wanted to come here first to ask for opinions on how to report it, especially the wording/technicality, so I don’t confuse them when they look at the report.
When I install anything through wine/proton, the apps on the screen lose their focus/or their focus becomes all messed up. For instance, when I right click on dolphin or the terminal, the right click menu is now showing behind the app and I can only see some of it (when I click close to the edge of the app). If I have a browser that is maximized, I won’t be able to see the menu at all, as it’s behind the app.
When I bring up an app into focus from the panel, it shows behind whatever app that is already on the screen. Clicking on the app that is already on the screen still clicks the app I brought up from the panel as if it were in the front. So the app that I brought up from the panel is the one in focus and is clickable, but it’s hiding behind the one already on the screen. I’m so sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I’m trying my best to explain it. Hope this makes sense. If not, please ask questions and I’ll answer. This issue has been consistent across distros and a Wayland exclusive one. I do have 4k monitors if that makes any difference and I run all AMD.
I can only fix it by either changing to a new workspace, logout/login or reboot.
Current distro is CachyOS

With “the apps” here you mean the Linux apps, right?

Also here I’m confused if you’re referring to Linux or Windows apps.
Beside that, for potential bug reports like this, I think you’ll get more/better responses over at the KDE forum as stated in the page about bug reporting https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting
With “the apps” here you mean the Linux apps, right?
Yes, my regular Linux apps that I have on my system. That includes the defaults like dolphin and settings. Etc
Also here I’m confused if you’re referring to Linux or Windows apps.
I guess I should say both because this issue affects everything on the screen regardless of what it is. Once I start installing something through wine/proton, this issue happens, and that includes the windows app that I’m installing through wine/proton
I see, I think it’s clear enough now. Never noticed if that happened to me too, but yes, since you got that consistently, it definitely deserves to be discussed
