            Bug ID: 350911
           Summary: Akregator stealing focus when minimized in tray with
                    frequency equal to fetch interval
           Product: akregator
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: bastiaan.huisman at gmail.com

Akregator steals my focus at the same interval as the fetching interval. I have
focus-follows-mouse, and the mouse cursor for instance in a terminal window.
Then every time Akregator fetches feeds, the focus disappears and nothing I'm
typing ends up in the terminal. 
This also manifests itself in full screen applications like Citrix receiver,
where the kde taskbars appear over the full screen application and focus is
stolen from the Citrix receiver.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up a clean install of Akregator.
2. Add a single feed, updating every minute.
3. Minimize Akregator
2. Start typing in a terminal
3. Watch focus get stolen every minute

Actual Results:  
Focus gets stolen with the same interval as the fetching interval

Expected Results:  
Focus stays in program I'm currently using and that my mouse is currently
hovering over

I'm running Linux Mint with KDE 4.14.2. Since a few weeks my focus is stolen
quite frequently (perhaps once every few minutes). 
I realized after a while that this is due to Akregator, since the problem
disappears when I close that program. It happens when Akregator is running in
the background.
I've uninstalled Akregator, removed .kde/share/apps/Akregator, reinstalled
Akregator and added a single feed that I set a separate fetching interval for.
The focus stealing seems to be dependent on this interval. Happening every
minute if I set it to 1 minute, every three minutes if I set it to 3 minutes.
I have 2 screens, and use the "mouse follows focus" feature.
I don't know how to create more debug information for you, but I'd be more than
willing to perform some tasks if that would help you determine where the
problem lies.
The problem is somewhere between grave (if you set it to update every minute),
and acceptable (if you set it to fetch every half hour).

Separately I have a crash each time I close (exit)  Akregator, with a similar
track trace as reported in 336417, comment 4.
