--- Comment #3 from Matt Whitlock <k...@mattwhitlock.name> --- Playing around with this a little more, I think I see what is happening. KWin *does* treat unfocusable windows differently in that it always passes clicks through to them even if "Inactive Inner Window Actions" for left-clicks is set to "Activate and raise." The difficulty is that the plasmashell panel is made focusable whenever it is displaying any popup window such as a tooltip or popup menu. Whenever it is in this "focusable but unfocused" state, left-clicking on it merely focuses on it but does not pass the click through to it. You can see this if you click on the launcher button to open the applications menu and then click on the launcher button again. The applications menu will not be hidden by your second click, as that click merely transfers focus from the popup menu back to the panel window. A third click on the launcher button will close the applications menu because that click is passed to the panel window since it is focusable and focused. Once the applications menu is closed, the panel window is made unfocusable again, and indeed focus transfers back to whatever window had the focus before you opened the applications menu. CURRENT BEHAVIOR OF "Activate and raise" POLICY: • If clicked window is unfocusable, then raise and pass click. • If clicked window is focusable but unfocused, then activate and raise. • If clicked window is focusable and focused, then pass click. PROPOSED BEHAVIOR OF "Activate and raise" POLICY: Same as above but with one additional case: • If clicked window is focusable and is an ancestor of the focused window, then pass click. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
