Stop giving focus to inactive windows on mouse wheel scroll
SVN commit 817599 by lunakl: Don't activate inactive windows on wheeling over them. BUG: 161174 M +1 -3 events.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=817599 I considered this a feature, not a bug. Can this be re-opened until there is a config option for this? No, there's really no need to go as far as having mouse wheel focusing configurable. If you want an action for focusing a window window without raising it, set one of the mouse actions that way in kwin configuration. As there was no reply on bug 164261: How does one do that? For me making an underlying window active with the scroll of the mouse was a useful feature in KDE 3.5.9. Could you please make the mouse wheel focusing configurable? There is no action for mouse wheel in kwin configuration. Many times I have to type text from some web page or program into a kwrite window. Scrolling the mouse wheel in KDE 3.5.9 makes the kwrite window active but not raised, so I can use the kwrite window under the top lying window. In KDE 4.1.3 I changed the policy from "Click to Focus" to "Focus Follows Mouse" but that has other annoyances: if I move the mouse away when typing my root password into a KDE su window, my password gets typed in another window. So I changed back to "Click to Focus". Hm, wait: I've just changed Window behavior:Window Actions:Inactive Inner Window:Middle button from "Activate & Pass Click" to "Activate". And that works as scrolling the mouse wheel in KDE 3.5.9. So I'll use the middle button click to make active without raising. Although I prefer scrolling over a middle button click (scrolling feels easier). I'm wrong: no need to change from "Activate & Pass Click" to "Activate". Middle button with "Activate & Pass Click" also makes active without raising. *** Bug 111984 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
