SUMMARY KRunner or the window launched by krunner does not correctly get focus when the "Focus Stealing Prevention" setting is set to "Extreme" or "High" STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Window Focus Behavior, set "Focus Stealing Prevention" to "Extreme". Click Apply. (Now the focus is on the "Window Focus Behavior" window) 2. Use Alt-F2 to call out krunner 3. Krunner doesn't get focus. If you start an application using krunner (e.g., konsole), the new application window doesn't get focus, either. OBSERVED RESULT KRunner, or the application started by the krunner should get the focus. EXPECTED RESULT The focus remains to be on the old application.

Can anyone please check if they could reproduce this bug?
Tested with Plasma 5.22 on Arch Linux. krunner is focused, but konsole launched with it opens in background.

I have tried again in 5.22, and the behavior is the same as yours. The original bug has disappeared. I think now this is the correct behavior (new application open in background) because the option specifies to prevent the new application from stealing the focus. Therefore, I am closing this bug report. Please feel free to reopen the bug if you disagree.
