I experimented a lot with focus stealing prevention, from "None" to "High". Here in this case, "Low" will be sufficient to suppress the focus stealing. I ended up turning the focus stealing prevention off though, since it sometimes results in undesired effects with some applications (would need to try it to get some examples, since it's been a while since I digged into this), like pop-ups or dialogs in applications not gaining focus. However, my main argument against the current behavior is actually a different one. While personally I think the focus stealing is annoying, others could see that differently *if* it was useful for *anything*, but it isn't. It steals focus, but there is – afaics – nothing you can do. I could understand, if you could e.g. select an action for a drive to be mounted using the cursor keys and enter or select a program to be used with the device, but that does not seem to be the case. btw. the annoyance is even higher, because you can't just get back to your program (e.g. Konsole) by pressing Alt+Tab once, instead you have to do it twice, because the task switcher will first switch to a different program. (Possibly because the device notifier is not enlisted as a program in it?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
