Sent from: https://krita-artists.org/t/filter-dialogs-close-apply-when-losing-focus/91670/11

I was told to make a new report in the above thread, but this is a duplicate of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352747 

When using a dialog under filter toolbar, if you click off the dialog anywhere onto Krita, the dialog acts like you hit the apply button, and closes.

If you have 2 copies of Krita running, and you click into the second one, the dialog closes, but if you click off of Krita onto another application this does not close the dialog.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a filter dialog, Filter > Adjust > Dodge  (or any other)
2. Click onto the canvas, or anywhere on Krita that is not the dialog
3. The dialog will close as if you hit apply

OBSERVED RESULT
The dialog applies the filter

EXPECTED RESULT
The dialog does nothing

Hi, dropping by to confirm that this is still an issue, and a pretty annoying one at that!
The main problem this bug presents is that sometimes, my filter windows (and even windows from Buli Notes) will spawn somewhere far away on the screen, so the window immediately closes as soon as I try to move to it, as the focus switches immediately back to the main window and applies the filter.
My workaround is to switch focus using a hotkey, which also moves my cursor to the window automatically. However, this may not be the case for all WM users. Before I figured this out, I was spamming the hotkey to open the filter window to reach it, particularly HSV adjustment.
