Bug ID: 493398
Summary: Unable to use cursor keys for choosing an emoji icon
in Emoji Selector after upgrade from 5.x to 6.x
(Fedora 40)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Emoji Selector
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ciprian.m.vizi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
After an upgrade from 5.x to 6.x (Fedora 40) icons selection in Emoji Selector
can no longer be performed using the keyboard.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pop-up the Emoji Selector window using a custom shortcut ("Win /"); notice
that it shows with the "Recent" tab active
2. Attempt to use the cursor keys to select one of the emoji icons; notice that
graphical decoration showing the selected icon is missing and window seems
completely unresponsive to cursor keys.
3. Press <TAB> to move focus away from the icons selection area back to the
vertical tabs area; use <UP> / <DOWN> keys to navigate to another tab e.g.
"All" or "Activities" then press <ENTER> to select it.
OBSERVED RESULT
Once focus has jumped away from the left vertical tab area into the main emoji
icons area, the cursor keys become unresponsive; since the actual icon
selection area is missing the selection cursor and cursor keys are completely
ignored, selecting an emoji is impossible via keyboard.
EXPECTED RESULT
Since most of the time I pop-up ES with a keyboard shortcut while composing an
email, ergonomically wise, the window should have allowed me to use the
keyboard to select a given emoji (so that I don't have to move my hand to a
mouse).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4-1
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: 5.15.15-1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It works with the mouse (albeit a bit strange e.g. emoji is no longer copied to
X11 clipboard)
Keyboard selection worked before in fact it has been working for years. The
problem appeared at Fedora 40.
The bug manifests itself both on an old Fedora install (which has been upgraded
regularly since version 34 up to 40 using dnf) and on a fresh Fedora KDE spin
install. Switching from Wayland to X11 makes no difference.
x86_64 on Intel (MB and keyboards from different manufacturers)
