LMMS clumsily interacts with VST

[NETMANSKY]

1. I tried to work with ReaPlugs - https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ in LMMS. LMMS loads em but plugs Interface has no response... I can load presets in LMMS Vestige window but I cant manage plugs by internal elements. They work in another DAW.
2. When I change focus from (any) VST window to another I cant back it by clicking on internal interface of it. I must to click on border or title of VST window to back focus.
3. After reloading a project and pressing button Controls in FX Chains of mixer on VST FX then LMMS shows empty window or VST window with rectangle in right top. Need to press button Show/hide a few times to show it ok.
   Will it get fixed or its' a system problem?

#2 might be solved if you change your plugin embedding mode in the user preferences. For me, embedding with windows API works best

I have tried REA-plugins too, and they did not worked. It is a long time ago, so i think it was with 1.1.3. on win32 @NETMANSKY, you do not mention your OS, nor your LMMS installed ??

On Windows7 64 bits I used and still use reaplugs a lot, and no problem besides adding a new band (for example on the ReaEq) crashed LMMS in 1.1.3
Seems to be fixed in 1.2RC

@Spekular it REALLY WORKS!!! aLL questions are solved. Thank you.
@musikBear @T0NIT0RMX As @Spekular said I changed embedding method and it get worked. It began just wonderful to work! The problem is buried in QT. Well, Reaplugs also works for me. Including their ReaJS except MIDI scripts. The only thing I have not yet been able to do is configure the ReaStream to transfer audio/MIDI between LMMS and Reaper. It would be great if LMMS supports MIDI time synchronization and external audio/MIDI routing.

@DomClark is this another focus bug duplicate?

@DomClark is this another focus bug duplicate?

It's a bit hard to tell, but I don't think so.
(1) I can't reproduce.
(2) is a bug I'm aware of, but I'm not sure if we already have an issue for it. I think it's just a limitation with how Qt handles embedded windows, and could be worked around by detecting the click within RemoteVstPlugin and sending a notification back to LMMS. I don't think it's feasible to fix this for 1.2, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
(3) might be a duplicate of #4834, but it's not really clear to me. If it isn't, I can't reproduce it.

@NETMANSKY what operating system and version of LMMS are you using?

Closing and consolidating into #5433
