Hi all, A long time ago, we decided that out of the following options, the first one was better:
- (1) when a window is activated by external entity (a document opens in an existing kate instance that is on a different activity to the current one), kwin switches to the activity - (2) --||--, kwin moves the window to the current activity I still think (1) is better than (2) and that it is a problem of specific applications like kate that like opening everything in the same window, and that those ought to be patched. BUT, a user made a nice point about why the current behaviour is wrong - it is a bit of a privacy problem - the system can unexpectedly switch to a different activity and reveal something that the user didn't want to. While I'm still not for (2), we might consider another solution - when the application opens up or activates a window in a non-current activity, instead of automatically switching to that activity, we might show a notification 'blah blah is open in blah blah activity' with a button to switch to it. Thoughts?
