Bug Description

If a K-application is in full screen mode, the "topmost control element" doesn't work for the mouse.

For example:
The buttons and textfields of Konquerors toolbars don't work when konqueror is in full screen mode. They are not "clickable", not sensitive for the mouse. Activating them via the TAB key works fine as well as typing something into the text fields (location or search string).

Another example:
If Kmail is in full screen mode, the menu bar is not clickable, but focusable by keyboard shortcuts. If it's activated by keyboard, the mouse starts to work.

I'm using a fresh Karmic Koala.

Can't reproduce.

Please install qt-recordmydesktop and make a screencast of the behaviour. Also... how do you get kmail to full screen?

The attached video shows that the toolbars icons don't hightlight in full screen mode and that the mouse cursor does not change to "text-cursor" when moving over the text field. The "circling" with the mouse cursor indicates that i clicked with the mouse. -> Nothing happens in full screen mode.

The video shows how I get Kontact (same in Kmail) to full screen mode and the fact that the menubar doesn't highlight on mouseover or shows the menu on click.

Works for me with KDE 4.4 beta2. If when KDE 4.4 comes around it still doesn't work for you, I would recommend filing a bug at bugs.kde.org.
