Sorry, I’m a bit behind with ML reading. But I’ve also noticed this behaviour with firefox a while ago and it irks me as well. I just composed an issue on BKO, but now that I wrote down the essence of this thread, I couldn’t just send it and whine, because it made me ponder. In which other use case do we not want to auto-raise the window? If, say, we double-click an image in Dolphin and want it opened in gimp, which sits on another desktop. And this made me test it: I opened gimp on Desktop 1, Dolphin on Desktop 2, right-clicked an image and selected Open with… Gimp. And voilà: it showed the old behaviour: the gimp entry appeared on the taskbar and flashed. I clicked on it and was moved to Desktop 1. So the problem we have with firefox is either a firefox problem, or the setting “Switch to that desktop” didn’t work. And with “Bring window to current Virtual Desktop”, the Gimp window has moved Desktop, but was not raised to the top. So I suspect a Firefox problem here, not Kwin. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Smileys are footnotes for the stupid. ;-)
