Works for me, @Nate could you please check if it works for you on openSUSE.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-04 17:38:21 UTC

Works for me too, on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-03-04 17:38:55 UTC

I wonder if this is another case of the behavior changing if the libqalculate dependency is missing (or some other one).

Comment 4 Martin Koller 2021-03-14 10:27:40 UTC

I have the feeling it is just delayed a lot when I also have "Desktop Search" checked. I see a "busy" indicator on the right.

Comment 5 Alexander Lohnau 2021-03-14 19:09:40 UTC

That might because the runner being delayed for ~400ms before it produces any results. That was fixed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/5a2d973e046074ab25e414a68e8ff0fbf7fabd20.

How long is the delay are describing?

Comment 6 Alexander Lohnau 2021-04-14 05:50:23 UTC

Please provide the information requested in my previous comment :)

Comment 7 Martin Koller 2021-04-14 06:59:26 UTC

The busy indicator just showed for about 25 seconds although the result of the calculation was shown immediately.
Currently the calculation is not delayed, but since I do not use it that often, hard to say ...

In the meantime my system uses:
