Bug ID: 431549
Summary: Multi X-pointer second keyboard input does not work
even when invoked
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: pickf...@riseup.net
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Second keyboard for second pointer (or input master) does not work even though
the second keyboard is used to open kickoff (and the same thing happened to
krunner), even when the second keyboard is used to start kickoff but only the
first keyboard (in first input master) is able to type something.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. xinput create-master
2. xinput reattach (all the second mouse and keyboard)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X#xinput_utility
3. super (I binded it to alt-f1) from the second input master/keyboard
4. Type something from the second input master/keyboard
OBSERVED RESULT
Only the keyboard from first input master is able to type something, the second
input master is not able to type anything, even if the second pointer is
updated to use the first input master. The same thing is observed for krunner.
EXPECTED RESULT
Second keyboard from second input master should be able to search kickoff
instead of the first keyboard from first input master since it is the one that
initiated it, also the first keyboard should also be able to input if the if
the first pointer clicked on kickoff search bar. Right now second keyboard
can't even enter anything even if the second pointer clicked on the search bar.
The same thing is expected from krunner.
