--- Comment #12 from PGillespie <vtp...@myfairpoint.net> --- Okay. So I don't confuse matters. Working hard not to give you bad info: //KDE 4? => ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc// No, running 5. What I meant by empty is that I haven't made any window rules on that laptop yet (except by way of sussing out this bug). //Sounds like it's less a popup but more a normal window that is running into the focus stealing protecion?// That's above my pay grade: Can neither confirm nor deny. :) However! I think I've discovered the problem (or a workaround at least). XFCE4 Panel behaves as expected as long as I don't set it to "intelligently" hide. If "hide" is set to <always> or <never>, it functions as expected. If set to <intelligently> hide, I can't mouse click the panel (it will immediately disappear on clicking) unless the desktop is cleared. So... all this is probably a separate issue. Update on Second System: I was either wrong or the system (since updating to 15.10) no longer retains window rules (even when set via mouse right-clicking). The behavior on both systems is now the same. I can control the two instances of FF via ALTF3, separating them into their respective activities while the apps are running, but those preferences (as expected) are lost once the applications are closed. I cannot use "kcmshell5 kwinrules" to *permanently* assign them separate preferences. Plasma seems unable to recognize them as distinct instances of FF. If I set preferences for FF-A, then FF-B assumes those presets. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
