255846 - KDE prevents new dialogs from stealing focus if they're spawned for the first time

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Sander Bouwhuis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

Using KDE's focus stealing prevention levels "Low" and "Normal", new dialogs in
firefox that spawn for the first time are caught. By new dialogs I mean the
download manager, bookmarks manager, opening file dialogs, etc. Javascript
dialogs are displayed fine.
One exception - in a negative way - are the "Opening file" dialogs. They are
always prevented from stealing focus, even if I download more files. If I
download a file, cancel the dialog and redownload the same file however, the new
dialog does receive focus. This made me believe the name of the dialog plays a
part in the issue.

Reproducible most of the time, though sometimes its behaviour is still a little
fuzzy.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
