Bug ID: 409610
Summary: application launcher problem with focus stealing
prevention high
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.16.2
Platform: FreeBSD Ports
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: a...@icyb.net.ua
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I set focus stealing prevention to high, so that, for example, when I click a
web link in my email client my browser does not take over the focus. I want
links to get opened in new tabs in background.
But when I enable that setting, the application launcher that I have in a panel
(configured as Always Visible = yes, Auto Hide = no, Windows Can Cover = no,
Windows Go Below = no) becomes effectively useless. When I click the
application launcher there is no application menu unless I minimize or close
all windows. In other words, if there is a window in the place where the menu
should appear, then the menu is below that window and it gets no focus.
I think that the technical problem could be that the application launcher
widget and the menu could be considered different applications and, thus, the
focus stealing prevention does not allow the menu to grab the focus.
But, in my opinion, they are the same "thing" logically and the menu must
always be shown when the widget is clicked.
This report is probably a duplicate of bug 377914, but that bug argued that the
problem is a bug in kwin and that argument went nowhere.
