Bug ID: 440894
Summary: QtCreator pop-ups steal focus and are moved to top of
window stack under wayland
Product: kwin
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: knut.tidem...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When changing a file opened in Qt Creator from another application, such as the
terminal, a pop-up window will appear and steal the focus, asking to reload the
contents of the file.
This steals both keyboard focus and is put in front of all other windows. This
really messes up with any ongoing typing.
This might happen with other applications that have this behavior as well, but
I've only really noticed it with Qt Creator.
The behavior changed from plasma 5.21 to 5.22 as the popup was kept in the
background in 5.21.
Even setting focus stealing prevention for the Qt Creator application to
'Extreme' does not seem to resolve the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file in Qt Creator
2. Change this file from the terminal
OBSERVED RESULT
Qt Creator and its pop-up notification steal focus and move to the front of the
stack.
EXPECTED RESULT
The popup is opened in the background and does not steal keyboard focus.
