Description Gabriel 2022-01-25 12:44:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
KRunner has a feature which allows you to pin it to keep it open, but when you click any entry or press enter, that fails and it still closes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KRunner
2. Click the pin/keep open button
3. Type something
4. Click the option

OBSERVED RESULT
KRunner closes, as if it wasn't pinned

EXPECTED RESULT
KRunner stays open

SOFTWARE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A similar issue was once present in Kickoff (BUG 443589). Possibly the solution may be similar too?

Comment 5 Mykola Krachkovsky 2022-02-10 14:34:07 UTC 
Hmm. I kinda loved previous behaviour. When activity goes to other window, it keeps active, but when Enter pressed it hides as no longer needed. Right now both not pinned and pinned aren't what I like. In first case I can't keep calculations always visible, in second after running apps it still opened and cover app, so I need to switch to it and press Esc.

I'd like to add option for that, would it be welcomed or not (as extra option somewhere)?
