           Summary: Do not raise window on drag operation
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-3 at dotancohen.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In general, I dislike the automatic focus mechanisms and prefer focus on mouse
click only. However, when dragging icons it is often helpful to leave the
windows as they appear on the screen. I propose an option for _not_ raising a
window on drag operations be added to KDE.

Usage example:
Open a Kmail composer window and a Dolphin window, such that the compose window
overlaps the Dolphin window but show some icons below. Start dragging an icon
into the composer window. Boom! The compose windows disappears under the
Dolphin window. This is annoying.

Note that KDE 3 could be configured to not raise windows on drag, as this bug
describes.
