Bug ID: 408795
Summary: Progress window should appear on top of current window
instead of behind it.
Product: frameworks-kjobwidgets
Version: 5.59.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Video showing the steps to reproduce.
SUMMARY
With Plasma 5.16 update, task progress feedback (move, copy, delete, etc.) was
moved from the notification area to a floating independent window.
This window currently appears behind the window that fired the action which
causes that the user could miss it easily, this may provoke the user to invoke
the action many times until he finally realizes that the process was already
running but he just missed it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Dolphin file manager
2. Pick some large file
3. Right click it and select "Copy"
4. Navigate to some other folder
5. "Paste" the file.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Progress window will appear behind the current Dolphin window.
2. This erratic behaviour may become unnoticed if you paste the file on the
same folder that you copied it from; because then a dialog to rename the file
will be displayed, this dialog changes the "z-index" of the child (Progress)
window, placing it either in front of Dolphin's window or in the centre of the
screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Progress window should be easily noticeable by the user, either sticking it to
the front or temporarily rising it to the front.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I suspect that this affects also the Compression progress window (Ark &
Dolphin) but may not be easily noticeable because you have to pick a name in
most cases.
