Bug ID: 404131
Summary: Don't give focus to the brush search box unless
explicitly clicked on by the user or via shortcut key?
Product: krita
Version: 4.1.7
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sprite....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I always get caught up when using Krita in hurried manner because for one
reason or another, the brush search box keeps getting the focus and I would
keep hitting the shortcut key repeatedly thinking it's not working only to look
at the search box and see I've basically been typing on it the whole time.
For my use case, I have Krita open on another workspace and the browser or
whatever reference on the other. So I switch between workspaces frequently.
When I switch back to Krita's workspace, the search box gets focused on. At
least ,this is the behavior it shows on elementary OS 5.0.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita on a separate workspace.
2. Switch to a different workspace.
3. Switch back to Krita's workspace.
OBSERVED RESULT
Search box often takes over focus rendering shortcut keybinds unusable. It is
hard to pinpoint what gets it focused other than the example I provided above
but that's just one of the many instances where it takes focus without me
wanting it to.
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't take over focus unless I specifically click on it or activate it
with a keybind.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: elementary OS 5.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I initially thought I could live with it but the more I use Krita, the more
it's really getting in my way. Like I suggested above, having it be disabled by
default and only activate when clicked by the user could be one way to avoid
such problem from occurring.
