Bug ID: 505431
Summary: Weird focus behavior after opening a file
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pit...@free.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After opening a file with Ctrl+O, the UI focus is in a weird state. If I type
some characters, they get added into the newly opened file, but I can't
navigate using arrow keys and the cursor doesn't blink. Other navigation
features such as Ctrl+F don't work either.
(amusingly, pressing Tab does indent the file's first line, instead of
switching the focus to the file!)
I therefore have to click into the editor area to be able to work on the file,
which is annoying.
Also of note: the quick file open feature using Ctrl+Alt+O doesn't have this
problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file using Ctrl+O
2. Try navigating inside the file using arrow keys (or PgUp/PgDown, etc.)
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens as the cursor doesn't move and doesn't even blink
EXPECTED RESULT
After a file is opened using Ctrl+O, it should be given focus so that the user
can navigate through it using the keyboard.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Using Kate 25.04.2 from the Ubuntu snap on 24.04, running on the XFCE desktop.
