            Bug ID: 333595
           Summary: Lost focus when any window is closed/hidden
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.11.5
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
               URL: http://youtu.be/dvCPqS8mSpo
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

When closing or hiding any window which owns focus, the focus is not given to
any other window or to desktop. Thus no key shortcuts are working, for example
Alt+Tab will not work, also F12 which in my case is opening yakuake window will
not work. To fix that one has to click with the mouse wherever in the screen
that some window raises focus. Additionally before focus is fixed, pressing any
alphanum key causes opening krunner window. Then every single hit of alphanum
key is displayed in the popup as a single character - no string is build upon
all hits.
I put demonstration on youtube which shows the problem.

In general I observed several variants of the behavior:
1) when window with focus us closed, no focus on another window is given,
Alt+Tab is not working, pressing alphanum keys open krunner, only closing it by
mouse (no ESC) is possible.
2) like in 1., but if no Alt+Tab is pressed then pressing alphanum keys opens
krunner but every key hit is concatenated to the string in krunner's input.
After krunner is on, Alt+Tab works again.
3) If focus is on another window that is closed (by mouse) then focus is OK.

This is very fresh installation of the KDE on fresh Gentoo system, but kde
directory was copied from old system. Notwithstanding, after creating also new
kde4 directory, problem is the same, On the old system with KDE-4.12.4 I've
never noticed such behavior. But I also had there a 4.11.5 in the past and this
problem was not noticeable at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two windows
2. Close one with mouse or Alt+F4
3. Try Alt+Tab - will not work (in my case).
4. Try any alpha-num key, krunner should appear, can be closed only with mouse.
