Description Frans Leerink 2007-05-27 01:05:54 UTC
Version:           1.9.6 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 85.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.3-default

Hello,
I am reading normally Linux Today Newsletter.
In that newsletter are a number of newsitems with a short description and a
URL for the long description. If I clicked on the URL the long description
opened in a new screen, so you could start reading immediately.

After updating to KDE 3.5.6 release 85.1 the above described process have
changed. If I now click on a URL that item shows up in the taskbar as minimized URL and I have to click again on it to open the long description. 
I have searched how to change this behavior back to how it was, unfortunately without success.

Any Idea ???

Regards,
           Frans

Can not reproduce this, works for me just fine.

This is probably due to the focus stealing prevention in KWin.
Try lowering the focus stealing prevention level in KControl->Desktop->Window Behavior->Advanced->Focus stealing prevention level.
See if that helps.

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the hint. The focus stealing prevention was set to LOW, setting it to NONE restored the old behavior.

Hello Thomas,

Just for completeness a summary,with:

1   Focus policy "Strictly under mouse", all Focus stealing prevention levels generate the old behavior
2   Focus policy "Under mouse", all Focus stealing prevention levels generate the old behavior
3   Focus policy "Follow mouse", only Focus stealing prevention level "None" generate the old behavior
4   Focus policy "Click to focus", only Focus stealing prevention level "None" generate the old behavior
