Thunderbird does no focus to a different virtual desktop - solved

[Jurko]

Hello.

I have a problem very similar to :

Https links in Thunderbird opens, but does not switch focus to Firefox

I am going crazy over this, but clicking https links in Thunderbird won’t switch focus to the browser (in my case Firefox). The link opens in a new tab in the browser, but the focus stays on TB. Searching the web for similar issues, most questions seem to address the opposite problem where the user don’t want focus to switch away from TB. I fail to find a preference setting in either TB or FF where I can chose the behaviour of https links in TB. Any help would be much appreciated!

The difference is that I use KDE Plasma KDE and I failed to make any adjustment to Thunderbird to behave as it suppose to do.
I ‘caused’ the problem by my self by pressing button “default” in a virtual desktop adjustments in a KDE. It removed all virtual desktops and after I created them back I have not been able to make Thunderbird to move focus on that virtual desktop where browser resides. Any attempts to revert back the situation has failed so far. I think the problem lies on the Thunderbird as links behave normally on the Yakuake. Any help apreciated!

Cheers,

I found the solution. It is in the KDE settings → focus → windows behaviour → aux. settings → virtual desktops behavior → move to the virtual desktop.

One has to notice that items names are NOT as written. English in not my mother tongue so the whole desktop is translated and retranslated on-the-fly back poor english by me.

Cheers
