Problem summary The tab menu prevents the Node Graph click to focus from working when running KDE Plasma
This can lock knobs to be active in other panels, preventing you from using hotkeys in the Node Graph
Customer reported version nuke.16.0v5
Customer reported platform alma9
Steps to reproduce
1) Install KDE plasma onto linux, then reboot and enable it from the login screen
2) Launch Nuke
3) Click the Node Graph, and press G to make a Grade node
4) Press Tab, to open the tab menu, then close it by clicking in the Node Graph twice
5) Click in the Grade's blackpoint knob and type a new value
6) Click the Node Graph, focus returns to the Node Graph and the blackpoint knob is deselected
7) Press Tab, to open the tab menu, then close it by clicking in the Node Graph twice
8) Click in the Grade's blackpoint knob and type a new value
9) Click the Node Graph, focus does not return and the blackpoint knob is still active
*This also happens with knobs in the Viewer, like gamma and gain
Expected behaviour When clicking in the Node Graph, for it to constantly take focus from the other panel
Actual behaviour After opening the tab menu, and using other panels, the focus doesn't return to the Node Graph
Workaround Click any other panel. For example if the focus is stuck in the Properties panel, click the Viewer, and vice versa.
