This is mostly dedicated to Aaron and Rob (IIRC, Rob did PopupApplet and Extenders)
The passive pop-up problem got me thinking. When a dialog is passive, it can only receive keyboard input when its parent application has the focus. This means that the text-box in the calendar (the clock-pop-out-calendar, not the calendar applet) meant for entering the date works only when the plasma application has the focus. This is /normal/ in a sense that *any* window receives the input only when the parent application has the focus, but in common case, you can click the text- box in a window, and its application gets focused. This is not the case with the passive dialogues. Another side-effect is that pressing Esc key doesn't close the calendar. I suppose that this also applies to all extender-based applets. (the similar issue was discussed earlier - panels needing the input focus, but it is a different matter) Making extenders to be active (non-passive) windows is problematic since it would (with the current implementation) induce closing the popups when they lose the focus, which is not desired (at least not for notifications). Any thoughts on this? Cheerio! _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
