Description Sudhir Khanger 2017-12-28 16:29:07 UTC

The behavior of the AppDash has been very erratic.

The arrow keys don't work as you can see the video attached. The focus remains on the same app.

Other than that drag and drop in the favorite section triggers a click event and the main screen with recent apps is not really populated.


PS: - It would be nice to have a category for AppDash.

I can confirm the odd behavior

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2017-12-28 17:09:14 UTC

strange followup in further testing... now keyboard nav seems to work ok, and subsequent attempts (at least 5) cannot reproduce the original odd behavior.

Basically there's a Qt bug that means you can't use arrows when you are hovering an item with the mouse at the same time.

Addendum: We have a workaround for this bug in KRunner, but I find it very ugly and wanted to find time to find a better fix.
