Description Luke-Jr 2021-08-05 19:02:10 UTC

If I use Krunner to switch to a window on another virtual desktop, it will do so, and then reopen on the new virtual desktop. Attempts to close KRunner then fail (it reopens immediately). Attempts to change to another virtual desktop result in KRunner force-switching back to the original target virtual desktop (where it again reopens).

Only able to restore normal usage of KDE by running krunner --replace.

Affects at least krunner 5.82.0

Pretty sure it wasn't a problem in 5.80 or earlier, but not sure which version was the first to regress.

This works fine for me and I do not recall this ever happening during my usage.

Is this still reproducible?

>Affects at least krunner 5.82.0

This is unlikely to matter based on the behavior you described. But the Plasma/KWin version (where the runner lives) maters though.

Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2022-01-30 19:11:15 UTC

I can't reproduce it exactly right this moment, but it is at least still reopening (just not switching virt desktop), so I expect whatever it is is still a bug (and will probably fully reoccur again someday soon).

Currently running krunner-5.90.0, kwin-5.23.1, and plasma-workspace-5.23.5

Happening right now. Anything I can do to diagnose further?

I notice in this state, KRunner is functional, but never closes (eg, if I type in kcalc and hit enter, KCalc opens, but KRunner remains open with the "kcalc" entry typed in still). Esc does nothing. No way to close it.
