Bug ID: 507835
Summary: The highlighted selection in KRunner's drop-down
switches to whatever the mouse is over
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version First 6.4.3
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If your mouse pointer is placed in the area where KRunner's drop-down list will
appear, once you start typing, KRunner will shortly switch the focus to
whichever item happens to be under the pointer. This is _without_ moving the
mouse.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the mouse below KRunner (assuming it's at the top of the screen);
perhaps 25% of the way down the screen
2. Start typing something that will result in a lot of entries shown
OBSERVED RESULT
KRunner lists a number of results; the top ("best") result is
highlighted/selected. After a moment, the item which happens to be under the
mouse pointer gets selected instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
The top result stays selected unless I actively move my mouse. That way I can
just hit ENTER to select the (most likely) correct entry instead of an
arbitrary entry further down the list.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250801
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This did not first appear in 6.4.3, I'm sure; I've noticed it for, probably,
months(?) but it was intermittent and I never looked for the root cause till
today. While I've got openSUSE listed here as my OS, it also occurs for me on
another system where I've built from source.
