[Bug 730371] [NEW] kwin gives keyboard focus to hidden window

[lcampagn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I have sound in a few specific circumstances that, when typing, the keyboard focus goes to a window that is not visible (because it is hidden behind the topmost window). I can reproduce this easily by doing the following:
 1) In an empty desktop, open firefox, then konsole, then firefox again (by clicking their menu entries)
 2) Close the topmost firefox
 3) At this point, konsole is the the only visible window, but the firefox underneath has the keyboard focus (and konsole's title bar is greyed out, indicating the window is inactive). The expectation, I believe, is that when closing a window, focus will transfer to the next highest window.
