Description Thiago Sueto 2021-07-15 21:37:28 UTC

SUMMARY
When searching the new menu Kickoff or KRunner (I believe both use the same backend) using a virtual keyboard, they don't show results while typing (or after typing).

Not showing results while typing:
- always happens with the menu
- if KRunner is empty, it always happens
- if KRunner is not empty (due to saving last search), it never happens
- if KRunner is not empty, but you manually delete the current contents, it never happens

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure there is no last search resting in KRunner
2. Enable virtual keyboard in the tray
3. Open KRunner
4. Type the name of any existing application in your system

OBSERVED RESULT
1. No results are shown while and after typing, and
2. Pressing Enter opens the first result even if invisible

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Results are shown while and after typing

Can confirm the issue. Seems to be an issue with the component itself.

Set Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText for text fields that act as search fields

This ensures that searching happens while the text is being entered from
a virtual keyboard.
