--- Comment #26 from Martin Flöser <mgraess...@kde.org> --- @Thomas: there simply is no usability problem here. This feature exists for > 10 years (which also means I did not design or implement it) and works with the constraints for the same time. This must have been broken with Kicker as well (yes I talk of KDE 3 here). This is the first bug report for this problem. To me it means it is not a problem which users will hit likely. This means it also doesn't make sense to invest time into it. Sorry, but we have more important things to fix. Lots of them. I can offer some solutions: 1) remove focus stealing prevention HIGH and EXTREME. Reasoning: we are not able to make it work in a Plasma session and don't have the expertise to maintain it 2) We remove the GUI setting and make it an advanced option 3) We show a warning that this breaks Plasma panels if selected If I would have to pick one I would go for 3 as we do that in other places as well. For example if you want to use "Focus Under Mouse" it says that Alt+Tab cannot work. Or the Compositor settings show a warning when selecting any of the "dangerous" settings. Please note that I marked the bug as WORKSFORME before we had misbehaving in this bug report. There is no punishment going on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
