(split out of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454842)

SUMMARY

If I trigger the effect with my mouse, the search bar is not selected, and I can press Ctrl-F or the up arrow once to select it. But once I navigate away from it, I can no longer return to it without the mouse.
If I trigger the effect with my keyboard, the search bar is focused from the start, and if I navigate away from it, there's no way back without the mouse.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

On Wayland, I can always focus it with Ctrl+F. But I can reproduce that you can't use the up arrow key to get back to it.

Regardless, once you start typing, doesn't it automatically put text in the search field?
Comment 2 Ilya Bizyaev 2022-06-11 08:20:57 UTC 
Only until I focus one of the windows with the keyboard — after that, letter key presses don't go anywhere.
