[Bug 39606] focus-follow-mouse works poorly with popups

[leonbottou]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase kwin (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:

Using the 'focus follow mouse' mode,
kwin activates the window below the cursor 
when the mouse crosses the window boundary.

It should also activate the window below the
cursor when a modal popup (a menu for instance)
pops down.  

Suppose you pop the knetworkmanager menu up 
and move the window to another window because you have
the proper network selected.  You click the mouse 
button into another window.  The popup pops down, 
but that other window does not get activated. 
Instead we get the window that was activated before 
popping the menu.  That can be very counter-intuitive.
