Description Laura David Hurka 2020-08-28 13:11:56 UTC

SUMMARY
When I search for control modules, the search modules are always greyed out, so I can’t access them. At least I know in which group they are.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Search for “shutdown”

OBSERVED RESULT
Startup and Shutdown is disabled

EXPECTED RESULT
Startup and Shutdown is accessible

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon 5.19
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73

Can you include a screenshot please

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2020-08-28 13:56:23 UTC

edit, nm, can reproduce

Comment 3 David Edmundson 2020-08-28 13:59:17 UTC

And can reproduce even if I check out a version from 5.19

Which either means it's a frameworks change or this has always existed

Just for completeness, here is the screenshot I forgot to attach. :)

I can reproduce the bug. What's going on in this case is that the search results are returning only a category and no KCMs. And the category is disabled, as all categories in the search view are.

The bug seems to be that if the only matched item is a category, and no KCMs matched the search, we display the disabled category anyway instead of the "Nothing found" message.

I am not able to reproduce this anymore with today's git master.
