Description Christian Mesh 2016-08-16 12:58:58 UTC

I was playing with the focus window behavior and noticed that the "Focus stealing prevention and the tabbox (Alt+Tab) contradict the policy and will not work" is not applied correctly.

When I change my mouse focus to a conflicting type and hit apply, I expect the task switcher tab/pane to be disabled.  It however is still active.  When I close the settings window and re-open it, the task switcher tab/pane is correctly disabled.

Conversely, when I change my mouse focus to a non-conflicting type and hit apply, I expect the task switcher tab/pane to be enabled.  It also requires me to reopen the settings window for the "re-enable" to take affect.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change Window Behavior Focus policy from conflicting to non conflicting or vice versa
2. Apply changes
3. Look at the task switcher panel.  It is not enabled/disabled correctly till the setting window is reopened.

Actual Results:  
The task switcher panel is not updated till the settings window is reopened

Expected Results:  
The task switcher panel should be updated directly after the settings in Window Behavior are applied

Unfortunately every module is standalone and  does not know about the internal state of the other components. That's something which would need support in KCModule, thus reassigning.
