Description Jason Burrell 2003-06-20 02:15:55 UTC
Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Compiler:          GCC 2.95.4 autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.5
OS:          Linux

Example: Gideon is fullscreen on the desktop. The user runs Konsole, which pops up in front of Gideon. If the user runs the mouse over any part of Gideon's window, Gideon is brought to the foreground. This is unconventional behavior, and not what most users would expect. If there is currently a configuration option to turn this feature off, I would suggest considering turning it off by default to provide a more standard interface behavior.

Are you talking about full-screen as in maximixed window or as in "Tools> 
Full-Screen mode..."? 
Which UI mode do you use? Childframe, IDEAl, tabbed or toplevel? 
 
Comment 2 Jason Burrell 2003-06-20 17:39:02 UTC
I'm using IDEAI.  
 
Also, weirdness. I didn't have it explicitly set to full screen mode but did have it 
maximized. Setting the application to full screen mode then back again seems 
to have fixed the behavior. Now, when it is in full screen mode as in 
"Tools>Full-Screen Mode", this behavior continues. In *that* case I'm not sure 
whether it was intentional or not. 
Comment 3 Jason Burrell 2003-06-21 03:35:17 UTC
To refine my previous comments:

When Gideon is merely maximized (not Tools>Full-Screen), *and* a dialog is open
such as the "add attribute" dialog. then the described behavior is seen. That
is, Gideon is brought to the foreground any time the mouse sweeps across the
Gideon window. 

Now, if Gideon is in full screen mode, then ALT-TABing to try and bring Konsole
to the foreground doesn't work at all. 
Comment 4 Andreas Koepfle 2003-10-20 03:27:21 UTC
I cannot reproduce this behaviour. Neither the part about the mouse-over nor alt-tabing to bring konsole to the front in full-screen mode. Everything seems to react as it should.
Do you still have this problem with current kdevelop?

Can not reproduce.
