            Bug ID: 335637
           Summary: Default focus stealing prevention behavior has become
                    too strict
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kwin
           Version: git master
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: hein@kde.org

This report is going to be fairly vague, but I felt it was important to have a
talk about.

It appears that kwin's default focus stealing behavior has become much more
strict in Plasma Next vs. Plasma 1. That is, the default "Low" setting behaves
differently now.

Here's a test case: Add a Konsole launcher to the panel. Activate it. Konsole
will start, but its window will appear behind the currently active window -
it's neither raised nor given focus. In almost all situations, however, my next
step is to do just that, so I can use the Konsole I just launched. The extra
step is a hassle.

I didn't think all that much about this until recently, when I quizzed a user
about their kwin settings in an unrelated bug report and they mentioned they
had set their focus stealing prevention level to "None" to work around just
this problem. And indeed it does.

Reproducible: Always
