Version: unknown (using KDE 3.2.90 (CVS >= 20040117), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-166-default The POP filter window is modal.It might pop up any time. When active it is not always the topmost kmail window. Any writing in other kmail window is blocked. User wonder why... even when you know about it... I do not like the modal popup anytime behaviour, but some applications uses it. In these cases I would like the modal to be the topmost window of that application. Can it at least be raised when a application window is used?
I think I fixed this few days back, the fix should be in KDE3.2.1.
*** Bug 74467 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Updated CVS (HEAD), recompiled - now it works!
Reopening - multiple windows problem (like for kdevelop but non modal sub window) Begin to edit a new message. Wait for POP filter to find some messages to query you about. The modal window (can) popup under your mail edit window... The mail edit windows stops to respond...
I don't use POP. Could you please attach 'xwininfo' and 'xprop' output of all the relevant KMail windows?
If I read this bug correctly, this is something I see a lot too. I see it mostly with popups from Konqueror. For example, when you go to a site that has cookies, a popup will appear asking you if you allow them. But when you clicked on the window in the mean time, the query window will go behind the current window, and konqi is no longer responding to you, and you have no idea why :( Same thing with "This host cannot be reached" messages. It is very annoying :(:(:( See also bug # 72641 for another annoying focussing problem.
Waiting for information requested in comment #5.
Created attachment 5715 [details] The requested files KMail works now... (is kmail or kdm fixed...?) Whatever kmail window I select the POP filter dialog comes out on top.
Does that mean the problem no longer exists?
No problem for kmail at least. I will keep my eyes open and try to reproduce the konqueror case (#6)...
Many other applications, like Kuickshow, are also showing this mis-behavior, on KDE 3.3.2. Try this: * Open Kuickshow * Browse to a folder containing pictures * Open one picture * Choose 'Print Image' from the RMB menu of the image * Bring the main Kuickshow window back on top and maximise it. When you try to work with the maximised Kuickshow main window, it appears to be frozen. It should bring the image and it's print dialog on top, which does not happen. Should this bug be re-opened?
Works fine for me in KDE3.4.0.
