Discord clicks are going to game in KDE

Me again!

Using Discord while playing Hunt Showdown and if I alt+tab away from the game into Discord to volume adjust, unmute myself or someone else, the left clicks are going to the game and causing some not so great misfires. Anyway to prevent the left click from propagating into the game window?

Using KDE + Wayland and Discord Flatpak if that effects it at all.

"Ah shit! I shot Marvin in the face!"
- Basically :)
- At least it might distract him from the terrible pain in all the diodes down his left side.
You should submit a bug report to your distro. If the window in focus doesn't grab the pointer, that should be a bug.
- I am tempted to wait as I should be getting Plasma 6 soonish (on Tumbleweed)
  
  I'm in a similar boat. I've got a bunch of small Wayland niggles, but I'm waiting to investigate them until after I switch to Tumbleweed when it gets Plasma 6 (I'm currently on Kubuntu).
As a fix, you can run the game through gamescope which should sandbox the game.
- Good suggestion; haven't dived into the world of Gamescope yet.
Are you using Xorg or Wayland?
- Wayland + KDE
  
  I thought that stuff like this couldn't happen on Wayland by design but maybe that's only true for keyboard inputs. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you but I hope that this information was at least useful to someone who knows more than me.
Yeah it happens sometimes to me with specific games
Try going into a menu first so the game isn't stealing the mouse and keyboard focus.
- What menu are you referring to? An in game one?
  
  Yep and in game menu.
  
  I had the same issue when playing Minecraft until I realized that I had to go into a menu so the game would unlock the mouse &/or keyboard.
