Description Gregory BELLIER 2009-11-09 22:20:02 UTC

Version:           KMess v2.0 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

I use the classic KMenu.

If the K Menu's opened (meaning I want to launch a software) and I receive a notification from KMess like someone's connected or starts talking to me, the K Menu closes.

This is annoying because it takes the user by surprise and you have to open the menu one more time.

After thinking, this bug is probably not related to KMess but to the notifications system which probably steals the focus. It's only a guess.

I second this bug.  I use the standard KMenu, and if I have the menu open to start an application, and insert a USB thumb drive, the menu disappears when the USB notification pops up.  That's really annoying; other things should never steal the focus from the user.

I'm using KDE4.5 on Kubuntu 10.10.
