Additional configuration note: in my setup neither of the two 'window recall' checkboxes are set in KDE window behaviour window, so the konsole window can have focus but simultaneously be partially hidden. I have also checked that before the click the focus is correct, so we have: - focus somewhere else - mouse moved above konsole - I type 'ls <enter>' - I see the command results - Alt-Click - 'ls <enter>' again - no command executed, Session menu opens An Alt keypress passes through to Konsole? I found one very specific situation in which terminal should have focus but it does not. After clicking the title bar! As the terminal is by far the most frequently used part of konsole, IT should be given focus after the window is given focus via clicking title-bar. To try it: - use 'focus follow cursor' mode, - run konsole and something else (I just tried with konqueror opened on this bug), - move mouse above the konqueror window so it is given focus, - then move mose above the konsole title-bar and left-click it, - try writing 'ls Enter'... And wider comment: IMHO in case of konsole, the general rule should be that whenever konsole has keyboard focus, its terminal part has it - unless there is special reason to give it somewhere else (user clicked menu or scrollbar etc) Maybe this bug title could be a bit updated? For a short time it seemed to me that I found also the scenari for the Alt-click problem - it seemed that it happened when I pressed Alt before the mouse entered konsole area (scenario 'press Alt having mouse above the konqueror, then having Alt pressed move mouse above konsole, click, release Alt). But ... after I reproduced it twice, the problem suddenly disappeared and I am not able to reproduce it for the third time. Seems something is more complicated here :-( Nevertheless I note this - mainly to note, that it is possible that the moment, when Alt is pressed, influence Alt-click behaviour - although it should not. I just upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 (Console 1.5.2). The problem seems to be still present, after alt-clicking console body still it is menu bar what gets the focus. As Stephan pointed out, it seems to be the Alt key getting sent to the Konsole window that was focused by Alt+click. This only seems to happen if you hold down Alt too long after clicking, although "too long" in this instance is, I guess, a few hundred ms. I can't reproduce this on svn trunk (r837737 "4.1.60"). The alt never gets passed through to konsole Well, years passed, a few KDE versions arrived, x11 turned into x.org... I am using Gnome currently, so can't test it just now. One historical note: I was using Polish locale and keyboard. Maybe it could have some impact on the Alt key handling (Alt is used to achieve accented letters in a few combinations). Cannot be reproduced anymore. |
