Well, the thing is this behavior has been around for quite a while, but it was hard to pinpoint it on a specific component. KDE, Firefox and GTK were throwing the ball to each other... Focus management bugs have been reported to the KDE bugtracker since at least 2004 (not the same bug, but same category), and most often only with lukewarm success, unfortunately. Thus, "recent bug report" does not necessarily mean "recent problem". It could have been lurking quite a while, and only have become more frequent / more annoying due to timing and performance changes elsewhere. It's a race condition bug after all. But, if push comes to shove, and indeed more than just Java applications will be broken by this, maybe we could make the behavior configurable by application by using the "Special Window Settings" and "Special Application Settings" dialogs? > > On the other hand being spec compliant is important.

I do have a patch by now (literally a 3 liner...), is it useful to attach it here, or must I get through the whole dance of setting up a complete kdesrc-build environment and submit a merge request? :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
