BUG | Click through

[SalahElsayed277]

When I click an application, it clicks through choosing or clicking whatever content behind the icons. Sometimes the application I click on opens while also clicking through, and sometimes the application I click on doesn't open and it just clicks through.

Gnome Version 45.3
Kali Linux

I had the same problem due to missing or problematic x11 support.
I had installed wayland and this is working fine.

if you want to find out which of these is installed on your linux, you can use this command in your terminal:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

I'll use X11 for a while. And fix these X11 related bugs. Thanks.

Glad I could help!

A possible workaround is to click the icon while pressing the SUPER key, then it clicks the icon instead of anything in the background. I've had a similar issue on the X11 system, while a window is maximized or overlapping, the doc icons won't receive the clicks, instead, the window was receiving the click. I hope it helps.
