Lazarus Not Regaining Focus
lazarus / 13-General

Hello People,

I have just upgraded to Opensuse 13.2 and I must say it is looking
good. However, Lazarus (both 1.24 and 1.26) are behaving funny. When I
open a dialog (say File -> New and then choose Cancel), my Windows
remain darkened (as if if they do not have focus), even though they
are not disabled. (Please see the attachments below for Before and
After).

It is not until I click File -> Quit  (Abort) that I get normal focus
again.

This only seems to affect Lazarus. I tried other multi-window
applications (Gimp), but it seems to be Ok. Any ideas what's up?! I am
on KDE, FPC 2.6.4

Thanks.

There is a workaround but the fundamental reason is not known.

Thank you @JuhaMannien. I'd just figured out the same workaround as in
the post above.

Ok , reproduced .... and there's no issue about it   ...  I'll open
one and fix it so we can track (yes, I've fixed it).

You can test provided patch (that patch should be good for 1.2.6 too).
Patch fixes modal forms, but not yet dialogs, that must be separatelly
fixed...also message dialogs.

Zeljko, it works well! It should be committed IMO.

@Juha, as I already commented at mantis. It works only for forms.
Dialogs still shows same bug (must create patch for that part too).
