Description Vadim T 2001-11-22 23:15:51 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kwin
Version:           KDE 2.2.1 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake 8.0

Today I was in a chat writing a message. I was about to press enter when a message about a server that doesn't respond popped up (I was loading a few pages at the same time). Of course the focus changed and the enter key was sent to the message box closing it. 

I think KDE should implement some way of preventing this as important information could be missed this way. Perhaps avoiding popping up windows when the user is writing (less than n seconds passed since a key was pressed) or implement Win98-like behavior keeping them minimized. Maybe even both :-)
