I see. But this sounds quite disruptive.
I usually know that, for example, 'kinfocenter' appears on top if I type
'kinfo'. Sometimes, I make a typo which returns no results, but press enter
before noticing the typo and the lack of results. Let us say I typed 'kindo'
and pressed enter. Nothing happens at that moment, which is perfectly fine.
Now, I Press ctrl+backspace (to clear the query), and then start trying to type
the correct query ('kinfo'). But, when I type 'ki', 'Kile' appears as the first
result and gets selected before I can even finish typing what I mean to type.
In fact, this behaviour persists even if I dismiss krunner (press 'esc') and
invoke it again. For example,
1. Invoke krunner
2. Press 'enter'
3. Dismiss krunner
4. Invoke krunner
5. Type anything that returns a result
leads to the IMO unexpected behaviour of running something after step 5, even
if the user has not pressed 'enter'. This was actually how I noticed this
behaviour in the first place, but I settled on the steps in comment #0 as an
apparently simpler way to demonstrate the behaviour. Is it intentional that
this 'runAutomatically' persists even after the user has dismissed krunner?
