Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Steps to reproduce: (Click to focus policy) 1) Focus something you can type on 2) Middle click the title bar of the focused window (or assign Lower Window to a keyboard shortcut). (Window goes to the bottom of the z-order) 3) Keep typing, observe the bottom window retains focus. Background: I was trying to decrement IceWM's userbase by one by pointing out that KWin does support Alt-Esc to Lower (like apparently Windows does, maybe we could have that global shortcut by default?) and the OP noticed this bug. See "Kwin improvements" here http://lwn.net/Articles/316860/ .
