window cycling problem

[Dani Barna]

Hello
Indeed, I had 'focus follows mouse' selected. When switching to
'click to focus' (and only then), the alt+tab cycling problem disappeared. 
However, I would like to have 'focus follows mouse' and the possibility to cycle through all windows on the desktop via alt+tab, but this seems to be impossible. Is there no possibility in kde to do this? For example to warp the pointer into the window, which is currently focused via alt+tab?
Thanks
Daniel

It sounds like you have one of the "focus follows mouse"-type modes enabled,
but perhaps what you want is actually "click to focus"? You can select it
in control center->desktop->window behaviour->focus->policy.
