Description envite 2009-02-01 04:23:36 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When I click on the application launcher and does not want to navigate the menus to find the app I want to start, I can write it in the search bar. If I'm too fast at writing it and touching ENTER, it launchs the wrong application: one which it found while I was still writing.

Example: type "ice" shows "Hoja de cálculo OpenOff*ice*.org" as first option. That is not uncorrect. But if I type "iceweasel[ENTER]" very fast, I get oocalc launched instead of iceweasel.

Please, make the launcher not to launch an app on ENTER if the search for the entered word has not finished yet.

Qt: 4.5.0 + qt-copy-patches-958058
KDE: 4.2.70 (KDE 4.2.70 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090415))
kdelibs svn rev. 958057
kdebase svn rev. 958058

I can confirm this bug. I think if we type search fast and hit enter, it should open the typed application if exists. In my case, I typed konversation, konqueror but every time konsole used to open being the first in search.

I can confirm this bug.

KDE 4.3 RC2, Qt 4.5.1, compiled from sources.

now uses krunner, the search is done differently and seems to work way better.
if the problem still exists with 4.5+ please reopen
