This reminds me of one of my personal bugaboos, which seems especially bad in Microsoft Windows: windows that spawn child windows that require input focus, but that don’t grab focus leaving you typing into nothing at all!
Truly its crazy making.
- drdec 5y agoIMHO, a worse practice is when you are happily typing along and the system throws up a dialog randomly, grabbing the focus and thereby "pressing" one of the buttons when you thought you were typing. Who knows what you just agreed to.
- account42 5y agoI'm glad that KDE has options to prevent that: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kwin/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html#action-focus-focusstealin https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kwin/kcontrol/windowbehaviour... Generally if you were interacting with the computer then whatever new thing should get focus iff its appearance was a direct result of your current interaction.
