Hi!
I have managed to install kdepim4 on MacOS 10.14.6 (on a MacBook) to be
able to use Kalarm. I have come pretty far (jumped through the hoops
described at wiki:KDE so the window content doesn't flicker anymore etc.).
Right now my problems are the following:
1. it seems that the pop-up alarm windows (and in general, all Kalarm
windows) more often then not seem to behave as if something was in front
of them - they receive neither keyboard nor mouse input. (If I switch to a
completely different application then back to the problematic window, that
sometimes solves this and I can at least close it -- but even then, they
are not brought in front of their parent window. I can always move them
with the mouse though!)\\E.g., in the screenshot I can't click on the edit
window (which is a child of the alarm window), nor on the alarm message
window, nor on the main Kalarm window (bottom right)
2. even when I _can_ get the focus on a window, the alt+key combinations
don't have any effect, e.g., in the alarm message window I can't trigger
_C_lose either with option-C or control-C or command-C. (Maybe because all
the option-letter key combinations globally seem to produce weird
characters, like option-C: ç etc...?) -- this applies to all the buttons
everywhere, i..e, _E_dit, _D_efer, or _T_ry in the alarm editing window.
It would be great to solve these issues, because aside from these Kalarm
seems to work pretty fine!
