           Summary: Click to focus not working on inner
window
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: steve bawue de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease)
(SUSE Linux) 
OS:                Linux

When I click inside a non-active window, the window is not
activated or raised.  I can click on and use menus and other
widgets in the non-active window, so the mouse clicks are
being passed through.  This also affects non-KDE apps (eg:
XEmacs) in exactly the same way, so it seems to be a KWin
problem.

Clicking on the root window used to deactivate the active
window without activating a new one, but this no longer
works (nothing happens).

Possibly related: using ALT + left-click (in inner window)
to move a window no longer works.  The ALT key on its own
still activates the menu as normal.

Mouse actions in the window frame or title bar work
correctly, including those with the modifier.  It's the
actions inside the window which are not working.

I rechecked my settings, tried alternative ones and the
tried setting them back, but to no avail.  I'm using click
to focus with "click raise active window"
activated.  My left button for the inactive inner window is
set to "Activate, Raise & Pass Click", but
only the "Pass Click" part happens.

I've been experiencing this behaviour since my update from
KDE 3.5.5 to 3.5.6.

I'm using OpenSUSE 10.2 (32bit), with the RPMs from their
repository; I'm using the NVidia drivers and TwinView with 2
monitors.  This problem affects other users on the same
machine in exactly the same way. 

I disabled window translucency and shadows etc, logged out
and in, but the behaviour was the same.  I have not yet
tried disabling composite support in xorg.conf.  I did
update to the latest NVidia drivers, but that made no
difference.

A VM I have with the same OS and KDE level does not exhibit
this problem.  The VM has no multi-screen or compositing
support configured.

I managed to get this working again, but I have no idea why.
 Here's what I did:

1. Set option "Composite" to "false"
(xorg.conf, "Extensions" section), restarted X. 
No change.

2. Set option "DamageEvents" to "false"
(xorg.conf, "Device" section), restarted X.  No
change initially, and then it suddenly started behaving
properly, after I moved some windows between the screens. 
Eh?

3. Set "DamageEvents" back to "true",
restarted X - still works.

4. Set "Composite" back to "true",
restarted X - still works.

5. Enabled translucency and shadows in the control panel. 
That had no effect until I restarted X again.  The focus
behaviour still works properly, as does ALT + left-click to
move windows.  No other settings in the control panel were
changed.

I'm now not sure if this is really a KWin bug or an X.Org
bug.

Looks like X.org or NVidia problem to me. Can you reproduce
the problem without using the nvidia driver?

Hi Lubos...

I'm not sure if I can reproduce this even with the NVidia
driver!  If I manage, I'll switch the driver to the from
"nvidia" to "nv" and report the
results.

Hello,

I've came across the same problem lately. I'm not sure how
did it start, though I'm quite sure I wasn't upgrading any
program. I just lost the ability to activate or raise a non
active window with clicking it inside (i have to click the
top toolbar), just like Steve has written above. 
I work on Kubuntu distribution, and have recently installed
Feisty Fawn. I have now KDE 3.5.6, qt 3.5.6, although the
problems started at 3.5.5. I use "nv" drivers for
my nvidia graphic card.

I'm having this problem also, with KDE 3.5.7, Qt 3.3.8, and
Nvidia 100.14.06 drivers. Apps that use GTK2 like GIMP,
Firefox, and Avidemux seem to not be affected by this bug
and will raise and focus with a click anywhere on their
window while KDE apps will only raise and focus if you click
on the titlebar or window frame.
