[Bug 430147] New: Knotify Alarms are issued with a Window Out of Focus and Inaccessible without Minimizing Current Active Window
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430147 Summary: Knotify Alarms are issued with a Window Out of Focus and Inaccessible without Minimizing Current Active Window Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer The Image attached shows Knotify issuing and Warning Window that is a mandatory dialog which is out of focus and unaccessible without minimizing current active Window. In other words the Knotify Windows is displayed as a Minimized Window, that forces a dialog for the user to answer before the user is permitted to write in the current active window. The other problem with the knotify window is that it is only inaccessible by minimizing the current active Window. As I have to simulate this error please view it and replace Knotify with FF Browser in windows alert colour, with a single flash and lock the desktop until dialog is satisfied. As this error is so difficult to capture I would suggest just turning on Knotify on all Window Messages in Kcontrol. It is 100% duplicative, turning the warning option on is sure to present itself at some time or another during general desktop work. - I cannot keep the screen-shot program ontop, even with changing the nature of the screen-shot window application. Its behavior in not consistent to KDE Window policy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It this were not the case there would be no bug in the first instance. - The bug is 100% re-producible and only requires you to turn on Knotify messages for all applications and it will appear. In the unlikely event you cannot duplicate please advise. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I said as much in #2 and 100% reproducible. To recreate easily install Application Quicklauncher in KDE3 Next Turn ON ALL Message Windows in System Notifications. Use the Desktop as normal - Message window will produce Knotify That will steal the Focus and demand dialog on general use. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Once Installed go to Kcontrol>Sound and Multimedia>System Notifications>Turn on ALL Message Windows for ALL Applications. Use the PC as normal and the Application Quicklauncher will produce many notifications. Each Notification will produce a Knotify Warning that will steal the focus from any Window open...Whats more is the notification will demand Dialog -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
