Focus issue on Linux (KDE)

[xstable]

To Reproduce

Linphone is open. I got an incoming call. I pick up the call and see a second window:

I can open other Windows (other applications) which put linphone in the background (behind those opend windows). If I close the above windows, I can see the two linphone windows again. All fine till here. BUT, if I other windows above the linphone windows, and I click ot the icon in the Tray

Only the main-window of linphone come back to focus. The window with the current call stay's invisible.

Expected behavior

Window of current call should be connected with the main-window of linphone, so that if linphone-main-window get back the focus, the current call window also should come back to the foreground.

In my opinion it would be a much nicer and smoother usability to not have an additional window, but put those current call-sections into the main-window. Maybe with a tapped pane to be able to manage multiple calls.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: 5.4.148-1-MANJARO
  • Version of the SDK 4.4.19

I totally agree on this. Finding back the current call window once a (long) call is ended, and confirming it is hung up (before saying anything unrelated to someone else) calls for a UX improvement. Suggestions :

• integrate active call in the main window, as suggested above
• system tray icon change color when a call is active
• system tray icon click brings to foreground active call window (no matter on which desktop it is)

Thank you for this great version of Linphone. I've been searching for a good VOIP SIP linux client for more than 10 years and this is it.

Here is my workaround : 

1. Put this in a local file ~/local/bin/bringuplinphone.sh

   #!/bin/bash
   /usr/bin/wmctrl -a Appels || /usr/bin/wmctrl -a Linphone || /usr/bin/linphone

2. Run chmod +x ~/local/bin/bringuplinphone.sh
3. Assign it to a key.

In the above, Appels is the title of the window during a phone conversation, in French. In your language it may be different. Adapt to your needs.

You may need to install wmctrl : sudo apt install wmctrl
