speedcrunch does not get focus on launch

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 282

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. launch speedcrunch
2. observe that we CAN NOT Type right away
3. one has to click on speedcrunch then type to do calculation.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. launch kcalc (install if required)
2. type numbers, and we can see that our input is accepted by kcalc instantly

3. but with speedcrunch, input is not received by the program due to window focus.

4. I tried fiddling with Always on top, Focus Stealing prevention to none in kwin's
advanced 
settings but, it won't work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
speedcrunch 0.10.1, on Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04, KDE 4.2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Though this focus lacking bug is minor but is very annoying, because we would like
to 
calculate instantly by using the numeric keypad, switching to mouse clicking and then

typing the numbers hampers the workflow.

Thanks.

``` Hi. Have you been able to reproduce the same behavior on any other Linux distribution? Even a lower version of Kubuntu. I couldn't on any distro I got my hands on (couldn't find a Jaunthy one). This sounds like a Jaunty issue, maybe in Qt or KDE. ```

``` I can confirm this issue on Fedora 11 updated to the latest KDE. If I use qalculate it gets the focus immediately after launch. Perhaps this is a GTK vs QT4 issue? ```

``` The problem gets fixed when we use "Place in System Tray" feature of kde settings for the shortcut (*.desktop).

Right-Click on the speedcrunch.desktop (or menueditor) "icon settings"->"Application"->"Advanced Options"->"[x]Place in System Tray" in KDE fixes the focus. ```

``` I can confirm that comment #5 does work. With icon already on the panel

1. 1) Right click
2. 2) Icon Settings
3. 3) Application
4. 4) Advanced Settings
5. 5) Place in system tray ```

``` Could someone please try pulling the latest development coe and confirm that the issue still exists? I still can't reproduce this, but since so many people reported, I'm reopening the issue. ```

``` I just did what #8 ask for I install the trunk and not only the problem is still there but now when I activate the window, I can't type any operation, I have to use the mouse.

Please feel free to request me to test it again. ```

``` @mcouder: are you able to run another Qt-only (i.e. non-KDE) application and get the correct focus behavior? ```

[Former user]

``` @helder.pereira.correia Yes, I just ran the standard "designer-qt4" and "linguist-qt4" I had focus in both case.

``` Hey! I've found that when the status bar is not hidden (checking "Status Bar" in the View menu) SpeedCrunch gets correctly focused at start. I hope this will help fixing this annoying bug and help as a workaround. ```

``` speedcrunch 0.10.1, kubuntu 9.10, kde 4.4rc2, workaround of #15 works for me! enable status bar in the view menu or press ctrl+alt+b to enable/disable status bar. once enabled quit speedcrunch, on every subsequent launch the focus will be there as expected. ```

Still happens to me. I'm on Archlinux running Compiz standalone.
Workarounds do not work here.

@hgabreu: is that with SpeedCrunch 0.10.1? Is there any chance you can try building
the current development branch from source and see if it still happens?

Reported by helder.pereira.correia on 2013-03-11 06:41:03

[Henrique G. Abreu]

Yes, I had 0.10.1
I just compiled from git, it does not happen anymore.
Thanks and sorry for the unnecessary complaint.
