Hello,
I recently tried KDE plasma after 5.12 update and it is running smooth. However I am experiencing two problems with virtualbox.
1. Virtualbox applications do not start unless QT_QPA_PLATFORM is set to xcb. Under plasma wayland session it is set to wayland.
2. When a VM is launched, if it is maximized with Host-F, it loses all keyboard/mouse interaction and has to be killed from the plasma session.
Anybody has seen this? Should I report it upstream?
Package details virtualbox 5.2.6-2 kde plasma 5.12.0
Thanks.

kde plasma wayland to be specific :( It all works under kde plasma Xorg.

Yes, do definitely file a bug upstream.
Also, plasma wayland is still considered experimental, so don't expect it to work 100%. Should be stable enough for personal testing, but it's not production ready.
IOW, if you want to use it, be prepared to file a few bugs :)
