kwin window manager with 3.5.6

A few times after I dragged-and-dropped a tab from Firefox window A to to Firefox window B, whenever I tried to switch focus from window B to window A the focus would go right back to window B, even if I'd minimized it with the window manager.  This would stop as soon as I'd switch away from the moved tab to a different tab within window B.

This is an intermittent problem, since after the first few times it happened I've been unable to reproduce it.

A few additional notes:

1) This only happens when the destination window (window B) grabs focus upon having the tab transferred to it.  However, this doesn't guarantee that it will happen.

2) It's most likely to happen if the source window (window A) only has two tabs, and "always show the tab bar" is off so that the tab bar disappears from the source window when the tab is moved to the destination window.
