Version: unknown (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7-20080501 Currently, when I click the dictionary icon in my panel, I have to then manually click the text field in the dictionary pop-up before I can enter text. It should automatically focus the text field when the icon is clicked.
Created attachment 33144 [details] Proposed patch to workaround this issue This is a "strange" workaround to the bug. (It seems to be a focus bug elsewhere.) The workaround is not perfect as it doesn't show the cursor, but it set the focus to the line edit.
SVN commit 970732 by asouza: Commiting Dario's patch regarding focus problem on dict applet The cursor is not shown due to the same bug with focus+QGraphicsView, so we can consider _this_ bug closed. As soon as we fix the other bug everything will be perfect. BUG:183710 M +5 -4 dict.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=970732
in KDE 4.7.2, focus is addressed correctly with mouse click. but if a keyboard shortcut is used instead, focus doesn't go to text field guess this is the same issue, if not tell me, I'll open another bug report
