If the title doesn't explain it properly: sometimes while I'm typing a dialog pops up unexpectedly (e.g. one of Amarok's "missing plugin" things or a crash notifier or kwallet requesting a password), and whatever I'm typing goes to the new window (sometimes including <enter> which dismisses the window). This has happened to me several times in the last few weeks so it's not a rare theoretical case. This is partially related, but less general (about passwords): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141267 (i.e. fixing this bug will probably fix that too, but not necessarily vice-versa). I don't know the best solution, but I can suggest a few options: * give new windows visual focus but don't change keyboard focus * as above, but remove keyboard focus from the old window (i.e. no window has keyboard focus until clicked on/alt-tabbed/desktop switch/...) * as above, but automatically give the focus to the new window after a 1sec timeout if nothing else happens I know there's an existing "focus stealing prevention" setting, but it forces new windows to the background where they can be ignored. Reproducible: Always
