KWin: Raise and Focus Bitwarden Window to the front, when action is required

Help

Hello all,

I have the following scenario running on my machine:

Debian 13 KDE with Wayland, running Bitwarden (installed as Flatpak) and have set it upt as SSH-Agent.

The SSH-Agent part is correctly working and all, so that whenever I need to enter my passphrase, Bitwarden will prompt me to confirm, to allow the application to access the passhphrase.

The problem here is: This prompting happens “in the background”, i.e. KWin does not raise and focus the Bitwarden application window, the only indication is that it highlights the taskbar entry - which is easily overlooked by me :slight_smile:

I wonder, if there is any possibility to actually raise and focus the window?

Did anyone else have a similar issue to solve?

Thanks in advance!

not really a “fix”, but as a workaround, I found out that the intended behaviour does work, when I start Bitwarden like so:

flatpak run --socket=x11 com.bitwarden.desktop  --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=x11

Having Bitwarden started like that will correctly raise the window
