Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Hi Steps to reproduce: 1. open e.g. Konqueror 2. Open a konsole in front of konqueror 3. Open file in konqueror Expected behaviour: the file open dialog should open in front of the konsole, the main window should stay behind the konsole. Actual behaviour: the konqueror window moves in front of the konsole window. I use the focus under mouse policy and all raising options are turned off. Thanks.
focus follows mouse should* do what you expect *i've patched related code, see bug #199910 - i don't think this causes a difference but am not sure.
Hi, yes focus follows mouse does what i expect. thanks.
Well, but with "focus follows mouse" new windows automatically obtain focus :(
Set the focus stealing prevention to "Extreme" As i must confess that i don't know what's the "Focus under mouse" strategy is supposed to do in your case (raising) this might however still be a bug.
Hi, setting focus stealing to extreme doesn't have any effect (focus follows mouse). When opening a program from a konsole still the new program gets the focus. Inkscape raises itself on opening an internal subwindow even with focus follows mouse, or is that an inkscape problem?
That would be a bug, but it works for me (though only tested with konsole + kcalc & firefox) - Focus stealing prevention: Extreme - Policy: Focus follows mouse - No "Raise with delay.." - Delay focus by: 250 ms - No "click raises active window" If a window is to "Stay on Top" it will of course "raise" (on startup and remain there) As soon as you enter a window it will of course get the focus (after the set delay) Regarding Inkscape: Works for me either, but this might really be related to the "patch" i mentioned in comment #1 As you compile from sources, you might want to try that - i just attached a "patch" there (it's functional but preserves commented old code - just a dump out of my working copy)
Hi, sorry, the last problem was due to a specific window-setting i had to get focus stealing prevention with focus under mouse, which is greyed out otherwise. But anyway, if i set the focus stealing protection level higher than normal, new windows are not opened on top anymore. (This time with a clean account only with the suggested settings)
Neither to me. Sorry - at this point and time i'm out of options. :-( (And i do not know enough about the raising intentions for the various focus models either)
update regarding the original report: modal dialogs are tied to their parents, ie. stick together in the z ordering. This is intended to prevent confusion about relation as possible (so you know it's konquerors and not kon... ok, let's say kwrites, open dialog) I'm not sure why this is a problem, but it won't fix, sorry.
