Description Martin Holec 2012-11-15 18:40:16 UTC 
Navigation by arrow in kickstarter menu isn't consistent in "Application" sub-menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open kickstart menu
2. Navigate using arrows.
3. Go to list end in "Applications" using up or down arrow.
Actual Results:  
Menu goes to "Favorites". This behaviour is different from other sub-menus (Computer etc.).

Expected Results:  
Navigation by arrows in "Favorites" should be same as in other sub-menus.

Comment 1 Martin Holec 2013-06-06 13:08:03 UTC 
This should be EasyFix, besides, it breaks your feature " The Kickoff menu can now be used with only a keyboard." Applications submenu is not usable with this bug while using keyboard.

This also breaks workflow for users, who depends on keyboard-only setup, e.g. visually impaired users.

Pushed by lukas into branch 'KDE/4.10'.

Up/Down keys should not move to the left view when on the first/last position

Tested the whole kickoff menu keyboard navigation, everything works as
expected now: Right key into the submenu, left key to the parent menu;
when in the toplevel, it moves to the view on the right/left
when pressing Right/Left arrow keys respectively
