Comment 7 for bug 38753

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kwin
Version: KDE 2.2.2
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011006 (Debian prerelease)
OS: Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

KWin : Giving the focus to a window should occur on button up events (and not on button down) - this would make it possible to drag and drop without loosing focus

Typical scenario:

You have Konqueror and Konsole opened. Konsole has the focus.

--==Konsole==----
| |
| |=Konqueror=-
| | |
| > | |
--============--- |
             |================|

You need a file path and you want to drag and drop a file from konqueror to the konsole.

As soon as you click on konqueror to grab the icon it gets the focus and overlaps konsole.
When you drop the file on konsole the focus is not restored and you have to click again on it to raise it -- this can get annoying.

Proposed solution :
Have an option that the focus will be transfered on a window on "button up" and make that default for new users.
