Description David Palacio 2009-10-23 20:55:37 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When there are more than two results, press TAB to go to the result list. Then, only the first and last are accessible with the arrow or tab keys (only those are highlighted). Even then, pressing Enter does nothing.

Reproducible here, using:
KDE 4.3.72 (KDE 4.3.72 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091015))
Qt 4.6.0 beta1

Patch to interface.cpp that seems to resolve the above issue

The above is a small workaround to fix the issue.

The problem is that the scene never receive a QEvent::WindowActivate event because its widget is hidden when KRunner window is shown. I looked at QGraphicsScene code, if a scene never receive the above event, it is considered inactive and it can't take the focus.
Maybe a bug should be filed upstream about this issue ?

Is this an upstream bug? If it is, does it have a report id?

Comment 5 Anselmo L. S. Melo (anselmolsm) 2009-12-10 17:50:03 UTC

AFAIK it wasn't reported upstream.
