Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux Since KDE 4.7 krunner automatically opens when pressing any key on an empty workspace. Pressing Escape however opens KRunner still (which is fine) but it has a space character (or the Escape character not being displayed?) inside. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On your empty workspace without a window focussed press Escape Actual Results: KRunner opens (which is nice) with a space character in the input field Expected Results: Either KRunner does not open at all because Esc is not an actual "letter", or it opens with an empty field.
*** Bug 290565 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reproducable in 4.8 RC2, the space prevents input to be recognized.
