Gentlemen;

Never had any issue with the App Launcher (opened by the smiling lizard button, LL corner of KDE desktop) until 15.5.

If it matters, I had been doing Leap upgrades for a long time, but a disk problem required a full install.  First thing I noticed was the launcher remained open (transparent) over the desktop, including program it just opened.  I had to fiddle around to learn what to press to close it.  While Esc will close it, the focus must be returned to it by a well-placed click, (and not on the top bar), from the just opened app, which is no faster than clicking the lizard again.  I found myself initially clicking the button Applications, just above lizard, which made things worse.  In short, my criticism is that I expect (and previously had) the launcher disappear by the time the chosen app opened.

Is this behavior an error, or an improvement?  If a person only opened apps but did not use them, this would be great.  I am not skillful enough to know if there is some setting to close it once it launches chosen App.  There doesn't seem to be an option in the Configure App launcher menu.  How do I get the older 15.4 version (or whatever didn't behave this way) if this is an "improvement"?

John
