plasmoids don't honour focus policy

[David Given]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I have a KDE desktop with the focus set to 'Focus follows mouse'. If I place plasmoids on the desktop, then they only get the focus if I click on them. Moving the mouse over the plasmoid doesn't change the focus at all.

This renders most of them useless to me; for example, I would rather like to use Plasmacon to produce multiple fixed-size terminal windows on the desktop, but I can't, because since they insist on using a focus policy different from the rest of my desktop I'm going to be continually frustrated by typing into the wrong window.

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!
