Description Marco Poletti 2009-10-11 09:04:48 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When an application is loading (no window visible yet), pressing Caps lock should not give focus the current application instead of the opening one.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open application A
2) Wait A's window to appear
3) Open application B
4) Before B's window appears, press Caps lock (or Num lock)
5) Wait B's window to appear

Current results:

A has focus.

Expected results:

B has focus.

Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.9.8-2-default

I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet. Is this still a problem for anyone with KDE Plasma 6.3.4 or later?
