I am occasionally using Lazarus on my Linux box with KDE running on it

move the mouse without needing to click.
When I edit code in Lazarus and the autocomplete list pops up and the
mouse cursor is not by chance exactly at the place where the list pops
up it will immediately lose focus and I cannot scroll in the list
anymore. I also cannot type anymore until I move my mouse over the
list to give it the focus again.
I there any window style that can be given to this list or any other
simple fix that will prevent this behavior? (I have not checked the
latest snapshots for some weeks now, so maybe it might already be
fixed)
I don't think there is a simple fix for it. Actually in the latest
revision it the auto complete will probably even close itself in this case.
It behaves like a menu would do => loose focus => close
How does any other window work for you, if the window manager keeps
steeling the focus?
Let's say you open the option dialog, from the menu => then the mouse is
where the menu was => so it is not over the just opened option dialog.
Do you need to move the mouse over the option dialog, so you can use the
option dialog?
what about: find, replace, goto-line dialogs? They all can be opened via
keyboard, and they all want to be focused onced opened. (even if they
are not under the mouse).
