When accessing an FTP server, I get asked for a password three times, and interface becomes unresponsive as one of the three dialogs disappears under the window itself

Binary package hint: kdebase

As description says. I go to a password-protected FTP server, and instantly, two dialogs pop up asking for my password. When I fill them both in, I see directory content, but all Dolphin processes become unresponsive. I later noticed this is because another password dialog popped up *below* the dolphin windows.

This is most probably the shitty kwm focus stealing prevention working up again, but on the other hand, the interface shouldn't react like this too: it should focus the dialog when the window is clicked, or in another way make it apparent that it's waiting for the users' input somewhere.

To clarify: The Dolphin processes still appear responsive, they don't "gray out" - but they simply don't react to any mouse clicks or whatever anymore. Apparantly, even though the user doesn't see the password dialog, it's still modal for the whole application, and very unclear at that. The original report contains steps to reproduce, refer to that so you can see what I'm talking about. :)

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
