The dropdown console Kuake(0.3) missbehaves badly when using the "toggle key" command. The result of this behavior is that the console collapses insted of staying open. This happens in Kde 3.3 and Kde 3.4 and I suspect that it also might happen in previus versions of KDE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Star kuake in kde 3.3+ 2. Activate another window 3. Use the "toggle key" (ALT + ~) Actual Results: The console expands just to collaps as soon as soon as it becomes fully expanded. Expected Results: It shouldent collaps after expanding.
Created attachment 49712 [details, diff] Patch that fixes the kuake dropdown-bug This patch exchanges the depratched function setActiveWin() with the KWIN::activateWindows(WId) function and thereby fixes the bug with the dropdown.
Good work! Please send the patch to the author of kuake, so that it can be properly fixed.
I informed the author of this bug like a month ago. Also I sent him mail when i had fixet it and an link to this bug-report so he could add the fix. But no reply, the program may be disscontinued. As the program is unusable without the fix and the program is very useful it would be nice to see the program working. Would it be hard to add the patch to the portage? So others could enjoy this program.
Ok, fixed in portage now. > Would it be hard to add the patch to the portage? No it's not hard. But we really dislike to substitute to upstream developers when an application becomes unmaintained... this was a trivial change though, and it's not a problem to add it. But if it were more complicated we could have decided to drop kuake from portage entirely.
Closing as FIXED.
