Bug ID: 467764
Summary: Application Launcher search, highlighted item may not
be the first
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: tinozzo...@tutanota.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When you open the Application Launcher and type with the keyboard to search for
something, you expect the first item in the list to be highlighted, so that you
can press enter to get what you searched for.
However, in specific conditions (see below), the highlighted item will be
different even if you don't move the mouse: if the user has the habit of
opening the app by pressing Enter, that will make them open an app they didn't
intend to open.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Application Launcher
2. Type with the keyboard to search for something
3. Hover the cursor to an item that isn't the first
4. Leaving the cursor on this position, press the hotkey to close the
Application Launcher
5. Open the Application Launcher again, and type with the keyboard again
OBSERVED RESULT
What happens depends on where the cursor is right now:
- If you moved the cursor is out of the way, then the Nth item will be
highlighted, with N depending on which item was highlighted when you closed the
application launcher before.
- If the cursor is in the launcher, then it will highlight the item it's
hovering, even if you didn't move it.
(It doesn't always happen, it's a bit inconsistent. It seems it happens more
likely without any open application on the virtual desktop, and if the
Application Launcher is opened (the first time) by clicking on it, instead of
using a hotkey)
EXPECTED RESULT
If you don't move the cursor, the highlighted item is always the first on the
list.
