Description FiNeX 2013-04-27 12:42:19 UTC

Since KDE 4.10 the focus changes unexpectedly. For example while I'm typing on Kate or another software (not necessarily a KDE application) the focus may change alone. In these situations I'm not using the mouse.

This behavior seems to be random, although sometimes seems to occur when there are notifications. I can say that it happens three of four times per hour :-(

Thanks for the attention.

Reproducible: Always

pot. related to FF or TB? see bug #318350

Comment 2 FiNeX 2013-04-27 13:18:12 UTC

Well... I'm not using TB, but I use FF a lot. Apparently it doesn't looks that FF is opening notifications but I will be careful about this on the next days. Meanwhile would you like to leave this report open?

Thanks :)

It stresses a pattern. Likely a dupe, but first data, then decision :-)

Comment 4 FiNeX 2013-04-30 10:23:40 UTC

I confirm that when FF opens the notification popup on each download the notification popup panel gets the focus.

P.S: I'm using a dual monitor setup with nvidia-twinview.

That should really not happen.
Can you obtain xwininfo and xprop of the notification (that gets the focus)?

Comment 6 FiNeX 2013-05-01 12:17:59 UTC

@Thomas: how? Should I keep a terminal opened with xwinfo running and click the notification when it will be focused?

Meanwhile I've found another case:
1) start kate
2) open a remote file (via sftp for example)
3) save the file and switch to another window before the saving process has ended
When the file will be saved the notification window will be focused  :-(

Should I add the two cases I've identified (firefox notification and save to a remote location) to bug #318350 ?

Thanks again :-)

Basically, yes - i tend to
sleep 30; xwininfo as that gets me 30 seconds to trigger the issue

So it does /not/ happen for you on a "wall" notification either?

We should stop talking on the dupe and channel all communication through 318350 ;-)
