Description Christopher Yeleighton 2011-04-01 19:52:26 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

When the Preview plasmoid is used to preview a package, it includes a button to install the package.  When the package is pressed, a modal password box appears under the Preview window.  The Preview window is inactive and the active window is invisible.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Tell Dolphin to preview file nickle-2.70-1.src.rpm [1].
  2. Tell Preview to install that thing with YaST.
  3. Tell Preview to close.
  4. Tell the window manager to activate another window.
  5. Tell Plasma to activate another window.
  6. Tell System activity monitor to activate another window.
  7. Throw your computer out of the window and go for a walk.

Actual Results:  
  1. The Preview window displaying the contents of nickle-2.70-1.src.rpm appears.
  2. ???
  3. ???
  4. ???
  5. ???
  6. ???
  7. Profit.

Expected Results:  
  2. The root password dialog box.
  3. Let Preview close, Himmeldonnerwetter!

Workaround:

  3. Tell the System Activity Monitor to activate kdesu.
  4. Press [Alt [F3]] to display the window menu.
  5. Tell the current window to move.
  6. Move the window using cursor keys until it is partially visible.

Alternatively:

  1a. Preemptively move the Preview window to a corner of the display.
(I forgot to mention that it does not move when the modal window is displayed behind).

no activity for more than 1y and 11.4 is dead... please create a new bug if still present in current version 12.2
