--- Comment #3 from leftcrane <leftcr...@tutanota.com> --- You either have a different trackpoint or don't use it enough to notice. It's a hardware issue with the lenovo trackpoints (it's just how the rubber gets deformed and then gets back its former shape). But the fundamental point is that accidental mouse movements should not interfere with the behavior of a keyboard-based launcher. This is clearly a KDE UX issue. Other GUIs never have this problem because they sensibly separate keyboard input from mouse input, precisely to avoid this issue. Don't believe me? Take a look at Chromium's omnibar. Move the mouse there and press enter. It will still launch the entry you've selected with your keyboard, irrespective of where the cursor happens to be. This is the logical behavior and it's how other launchers behave too, thus avoiding the problem entirely. They aren't wrong. IF you remember, for ages Krunner would actually open whatever entry the mouse was hovering over, even without movement. It was later partially "fixed" by requiring movement, but the original design which was the actual source of the problem was kept The only consequence of KDE's design of mixing keyboard and mouse input is unintended launches. Is causing accidental launches "intended behavior"? Cause that's the only feature the current design provides. So please reconsider. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
