Bug ID: 416145
Summary: Krunner doesn't immediately intercept keystrokes,
leading the user to accidentally type text into
whatever app is open.
Product: krunner
Version: 5.17.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: filesearch
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a text editor
2. Invoke Krunner
3. IMMEDIATELY start typing, don't wait for the dialog to pop up.
OBSERVED RESULT
Half of your text will be entered into the text editor, and the other half will
be entered into Krunner. Krunner isn't terribly fast to open (about 0.3 sec
delay on my machine), and until the dialog pops, it's not intercepting your
keystrokes.
This is unacceptable behavior for a launcher IMO. It never happens on Gnome or
Windows AFAIK.
EXPECTED RESULT
The launcher should start intercepting all keystrokes entered after invoking
the launcher, even if it can't draw the actual input dialog fast enough. Of
course it's important to display the popup quickly - and KRunner could
definitely use a performance improvement - but it is doubly important for a
slow launcher to start capturing right away because otherwise the user will end
up typing text into whatever window is open. This happens to me regularly when
using krunner.
