When using alt-f2 (with the mouse not inside its focus, but it has focus 
due to using sloppy focus) with completion set to popup/dropdown the 
popupmenu in certain cases appears makes kwin lose focus.

The simplest case is:
   type in lists.kde.org for the first time thus adding it to history
   then (making sure to move the mouse outside the alt-f2 window)
   type alt-f2 again and type "l"
   thus bringing up the lists.kde.org selection, and now type a
   different letter - i.e to make the popupmenu disappear, when
   this happens the mouse loses focus from the popupmenu and reverts
   to where the mouse is actually placed.

Clear enough explanation I hope...

It this fixable? it seems quite a complex problem, but would be really
nice if it was fixed by 3.0.

thanks,
Alex

p.s: just noticed this is also a big problem with popup menus in general :(
     (ctrl-f in konqi for example)
