Bug ID: 446443
Summary: Search field in overview activated via Meta key
doesn't have focus by default, so it sometimes hangs
when typing immediately after activation
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I made the effect run upon pressing Meta with kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc
--group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta
"org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,,invokeShortcut,Overview".
When running it this way, the search field doesn't get focus by default. I
assume this is what causes the search to hang for a split second before getting
focus, so if I type immediately after enabling the effect, sometimes one letter
gets repeated, kinda similar to a longstanding KRunner bug that was long fixed
already.
Interestingly enough, this is the case when the overview gets activated via the
default keyboard shortcut too. The difference is that the search field gets
focus immediately after either Ctrl or Alt is released, so the hang doesn't
manifest.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta
"org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,,invokeShortcut,Overview"
2. qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure (might be just qdbus depending on
distro)
3. Press Meta
4. Immediately type something (e.g. Firefox)
