Bug ID: 407286
Summary: Focus stealing prevention prevents Okular from
focusing Kate using synctex when Kate is not minimized
Product: kwin
Version: 5.15.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: raphael....@jakse.fr
Target Milestone: ---
When using KDE Plasma and KWin as a window manager, focus stealing prevention
level is on low (or medium, I can't remember) by default.
This setting prevents Okular from focusing Kate when shift-clicking somewhere
in a document using synctex if Kate is already open and not minimized.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF document compiled with synctex support (e.g. pdflatex --pdflatex
-synctex=1 document.tex)
2. shift-click on a word. Kate is open and focused with the source document, at
the right position.
3. Don't minimize Kate. Switch back to Okular. For instance, using Alt+Tab
(common workflow)
4. Redo this again.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that Kate blinks in the task bar, but is not focused and remains in the
background.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate should be focused and put at the foreground, even if it was not minimized
before.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes, X11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0
Qt Version: 5.12.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The behavior is correct when disabling focus stealing prevention, or when using
xfwm4 instead of KWin.
P.S. Maybe related to the following bug?
