Bug ID: 362657
Summary: Device Notifier stealing keyboard focus when
notification is displayed.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.6.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Device Notifier
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: timle...@gmail.com
This is pretty simple to understand; showing the device notification seems to
be grabbing keyboard focus from the active application. Tested this with
Konsole and HexChat. Noticed it becasue my cell pohone's USB connection is
wonky and sensitive... kept disconnectiong / reconnecting while I was trying to
type into a shell via Konsole or do uber awesome IRC thingys with HexChat.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use program such as konsole; hexchat
2. Attach a USB device such as a cell phone
3. Try to keep typing into application after Device Notifier is triggered
Actual Results:
You can no longer type into your application as Device Notifier has snuck up
and stolen your precious keyboard focus.
Expected Results:
Handy device notification is shown on screen but does not rudely disrupt your
ability to keep typing into your active application.
Tested with Konsole and HexChat; Plasma version 5.6.3
I tried to use the "Focus stealing prevention" feature in the System Settings /
Window Management KCM under "Window Behaviour". It was set to "Low" so I
bumped it to "Medium" with no effect. Setting it to "High" suppressed the
notificaitons from opening up on the Device Manager. Not what I wanted... I do
want the Device Notiifier to show me a "notice" but NOT steal my keyboard
focus. The icon briefly changed, though. I also noticed that with the focus
stealing prevention set to "high", the Device Notifier was acting quirky. If
Konsole was active when the phone is attached, the notification is
suppressed... and you can't go click on the icon in the system tray to make it
show. First, you have to click on the desktop or panel. Then you could click
on the icon to manually show the Device Notifier "notice". Strange and also
annoying. Short story is that the Focus Stealing Prevention settings were no
help to me.
