Description Marcin Kasperski 2005-04-27 18:56:08 UTC

Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8

Repeatable scenario:

- I click some URL in kmail email - the link leads to some page which require HTTP authorization

- temporary dialog 'Postęp ładowania' (Loading progress?) show up showing the URL and 0% progress - and I can wait as long as I like, nothing changes

- this effect is caused by the fact that konqueror waits for username and password

- but the window prompting for them is somewhere below existing windows (I usually find it finally on taskbar)!

Please do sth to force this window to be always on top.

I had this too, and it's IMHO a kwin issue (with focus stealing prevention). Unless the kwin developer(s) tell me to set some flags on the dialog, in which case I'll do that of course :)

Please provide some URL that can be used to reproduce the problem.

Comment 3 Marcin Kasperski 2005-04-28 16:19:19 UTC

I observe this problem using intranet application in my organization, so it is not usable for your reproduction. Nevertheless it seems to me that the following things can be important here:
- the service uses HTTP authentication,
- service is accessed using SSL (https://...)
- I work in 'focus follow mouse' mode (the window over which the mouse pointer is placed gets keyboard input but is not moved to the top)

Comment 4 Marcin Kasperski 2005-04-28 16:22:13 UTC

Two extra remarks:
- in bug 104671 I suggest totally alternative solution for the problem of HTTP authentication queries
- I do not remember details now but the problem of 'hidden somewhere modal window' happens also in other applications (in fact I got used to the fact that if some KDE application stops being responsive I should go over all virtual desktops searching for some dialog box hidden in the taskbar)

Re #2: See my original comment in Bug 96919:
To reproduce, try to create a mail with the following link to the local SWAT parametrization (if you have installed it).
