Description p92 2006-03-12 21:27:34 UTC

Version:           0.12 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 4.0.3 20051204 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.2-5ubuntu2) 
OS:                Linux

Whenever an incoming webcam invitation or an incoming filetransfer box shows up, it steal focus, so 99% of the times I CANCEL the webcam because the focus in not only on the new window (this is addressed in bug #116761) but also on the cancel button ! 

Can you arrange for this webcam window to ignore ENTER accelerator which triggers the cancel action. Some less easy way to cancel the webcam session with the keyboard should be implemented.

I second this! The current behaviour is extremely annoying!

Yes, would be really nice to see that fixed.

Comment 4 Mathieu Jobin 2006-04-20 13:11:29 UTC

I still wish the developer changes the properties of the button so it does not get any keystrokes as a click. but for the time being I got a little workaround. it's especially good if you always chat with the same person.


here it is

somekool@krypton ~ $ cat .kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc
[1]
above=true           # always on top
aboverule=2
acceptfocus=false    # no focus to the window possible
acceptfocusrule=2
clientmachine=krypton
clientmachinematch=0
description=Window settings for kopete

the number of times I instantly close a webcam because I'm half way though typing and press space/enter ......

Same observed here, how is this still UNCONFIRMED if 125621 was closed as DUPLICATED of this one?

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
