Some time ago one of the updates changed the behaviour of the focus stealing prevention. I have set "focus follows mouse /mouse precedence" for as long as use kwin. I've also used to set the focus stealing prevention to "High" so that new windows popping up wouldn't gain focus automatically when popping up. I've this so I wouldn't inadvertently type into the new window or dialog that was popping up while I was thinking I'd write in the editor. After the update that setting is rendered completely useless: while the popup or new window doesn't get focus (wanted) it is also forced into the background (not wanted). This nonsensical behaviour extends even to the applications menu, which opens behind my active window, rendering it inaccessible. Is there another setting that controls where new windows are created, I do want them to open in the foreground, just not get focus until I move the mouse or Alt-Tab to them. Focus stealing prevention set to "medium" does open new windows in the foreground, but also gives them immediate focus (even when the mouse is still over a different window). Setting "Focus under mouse" also doesn't work the way I want, since it gives focus to the popup if it happens to pop up under the mouse (focus stealing prevention doesn't work in this mode, nor does Alt-Tab).
