I can confirm this is happening, but I don't see why that would be a problem. The search field is focused by default when you open the menu, so you can start typing right away. It's not a "problem" per se - more a case of aesthetics - it simply looks wrong when the application menu is used with a top panel. Digging a bit, it turns out this was an intentional change. It appears we wanted the layout to remain consistent, as it reduced code complexity and we had gotten some complaints about the dynamic layout before. |
Created attachment 139389 [details] Search field location in pre 5.22 version when panel at top of screen. SUMMARY Prior to the update to 5.22 the "Application Menu 2.0" search field was adjacent to the panel, as shown in attached screenshot. This is no longer the case, is that intentional behavior? If so, then an option to place the search field at top or bottom wouldn't go amiss. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place panel at top edge of screen. 2. Open Application Menu. 3. Observe placement of Search Field. OBSERVED RESULT Search Field is at the bottom of the Application Menu. EXPECTED RESULT Search Field adjacent to the Panel. (As was the behavior pre 5.22) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210610 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.12.9-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 2 × AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ Memory: 3.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NV84 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
