Summary: Search input field animation when opening krunner
seems out of place
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dev-...@felsenfleischer.de

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When krunner is opened and slides in from the top, at the same time the input
cursor and the “Search ...“ text in the input field slide from right to left.
After investigation I now know this comes from the default behaviour of a
search input widget, which does this when it receives input focus, because it
then hides its looking-glass icon.
But to me (I set global animation speed rather high, which also means it is not
always butter-smooth) it looks like the GUI is still being constructed while
the panel slides in. Partly this is because the icon starts vanishing as soon
as krunner moves in, which makes the icon—and thus the reason for the animation
in the first place—practically imperceptible.
What’s your opinion on avoiding this particular animation? Perhaps the focus
can be pre-set, or the icon is set only after creating the widget (I don’t know
the particulars on how the GUI is constructed). I think it would give an
impression of a seemingly faster responding GUI.
Cheers.
