Description Wolfgang Mader 2008-02-01 09:05:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hello,

If I ask krunner to open e.g. www.kde.org sometimes it tells konqueror to open www.kde.or - so it cuts off the last character. This could be related to <a href="http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151776">bug 151776</a>.

Because krunner is able to start an application without knowing its full name I can not tell if this problem also occurs on starting apps.

*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.

Comment 2 Aldoo 2008-04-04 10:21:36 UTC

Is it fixed in 4.0.x ? I still get that behaviour in 4.0.3.

Comment 3 Ludger Sprenker 2008-04-05 15:16:57 UTC

It is still in KDE 4.0.3 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu.

Is still not fixed in 4.0.4 (openSUSE 11.0 beta 3). Please reopen it!!!

Re: comments #2, #3, #5,
I can't reproduce this (using kde-4.0.4, fedora 9), any hints?

Comment 7 urwald 2008-05-19 21:10:09 UTC

I'm not a KDE programmer, but my interpretation would be this:

To reproduce, you have to type the adress quite fast. With each character you type, the list of proposals gets updated - however, this needs some time, maybe 0.5 sec. When you type "www.opensuse.or" then the proposal is something like "open URL www.opensuse.or". When you now type the final "g" and than you press "return" immediatly, there isn't enough time to update the list of proposals, there is still displayed "open URL www.opensuse.or".

When "return" is pressed, KRunner should _not_ execute the actual proposal, but process first all other characters still not processed and _than_ calculate a new list of proposals. _Than_ execute the action!

This bug is very, very annoying!!! I'm using an Intel Dual Core processor and have 2GB RAM, so my computer is fast. And I'm able to touch-type (with all 10 fingers and without viewing the keybord) quite fast, and I don't want write slower just because I'm using KRunner.

the fix for this required some adjustments to the API in libplasma. it's fixed in 4.1.
