Bug ID: 489806
Summary: Make it possible so that background window does not
raise when starting a drag (mouse down), but does on
click
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Other
URL: https://mstdn.io/deck/@scottjen...@social.coop/1127362
15334560587
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@holodeck1.com
Target Milestone: ---
Expected behaviour
1. Single click on background window: raise it
2. Drag on icon in background window: just highlight icon and start dragging,
no raise
Actual behaviour:
There are settings in System Settings → Window Management → Window Actions.
There you can set the left click from "Activate, raise and forward click" to
"Activate and forward click" and some others but none of them satisfies both
expected cases at the same time, because the entire click (mouse down + mouse
up) is considered. With the default "Activate, raise and forward click" when
you start dragging the item in the background window the background window
raises and if it covers the entire previously foreground window we lose the
drag target window from sight since it goes into background. If "Activate and
forward click" setting (without raise) is selected then if you only click on
the window in the background it does not raise and you have to click the second
time to raise it.
