Version: 0.50.1 (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-16-generic How to recreate: ------------------------- 1. Open kopete in kde4 2. Log in (msn) 3. Open chat with someone (message window opens) 4. Switch to some other window 5. Focus that message window (clicking at message history, not the text box) 6. Enter a new message 7. Watch as it goes to /dev/null -> When some text is inputted to any widget in message window it should be forwarded to the textbox in the bottom. Just a trivial usability problem.
This seems to be rather common problem; kate experiences it too.. The main widget (in kate the edited document) doesn't receive focus after the window is focused by default.
Thanks for the report. It has already been fixed in SVN for Kopete and will be available in KDE 4.04. Can you open a separate bug report for kate, please? The fix is probably similar: Setting the edit part as focus proxy for widgets that might get focus when activating the kate window. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158371 ***
