Falkon not switching to foreground

I have attached a screencast for the cases when Falkon opens a link but it doesn't switch to foreground.

One case is opening a link from Konsole. Falkon would not be minimized.

The other case would be by showing the desktop and opening a URL from there.

The same applies with links from E-Mails.

Falkon switching to foreground

I am using KDE Neon, thus using KWin, and thanks to the description in bug #392805 I learned that I need to tweak KWin to let Falkon steal the focus.

System Settings -> Windows Management -> Windows Rules -> Settings for Falkon -> Appearance & Fixes -> Focus stealing prevention -> "Force" and then "None".

The fact that after clicking on "Show Desktop" and then opening an URL and not having Falkon in foreground sounds like a different bug.

That has nothing to do with Falkon, please report it against KWin.

I did open bug #394012, but it was closed as INVALID.
