            Bug ID: 320310
           Summary: Five-second delay before Ctrl+Alt+A brings
                    attention-demanding chat window to front
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: telepathy
           Version: 0.6.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: text-ui
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: haakonn at gmail.com

When I have an ongoing chat in a window in the background, and my chat partner
sends a message there, the window "demands attention" - its entry in the
taskbar blinks. I always use the standard Ctrl+Alt+A keyboard shortcut of KWin
to bring attention-demanding chat windows to front. But in Text Ui, there is a
delay between the windows starting to demand attention and the keyboard
shortcut working – it seems like five seconds, but it's hard to tell, so I will
just repeatedly press Ctrl+Alt+A until the window appears. This is frustrating,
and other applications don't behave this way. If it's not a bug, it's certainly
a very strange and counterintuitive feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get someone to send you an IM message
2. Immediately when the window's taskbar entry starts blinking, press
Ctrl+Alt+A
3. Nothing happens. After five seconds, goto step 2, and the window will appear
as expected.



I'm using the Kubuntu packages, and they don't seem to have any newer than
0.6.1, so I have not tested on 0.6.2.
