Can confirm.

This bug was about left/right keys not working while the up/down keys do. If up/down keys do not work that's bad and should be fixed, but it's a different bug. I'd love to have a look at fixing this as I squashed a couple of other kicker bugs for 6.3.1. I absolutely can't reproduce this though; I've spent a minute or two searching for different things and arrowing around in various directions and orders and everything worked alright. Similarly when I tested the fixes for 6.3.1. Can you please give clear replication steps on how to trigger the issue?

Mental mistake while writing (In reply to hernan1342 from comment #8) > Sorry, you are correct, the sides keys are the ones that not work.. Mental > mistake while writing Can you give replication steps? I can't reproduce the left/right arrow keys not working, they seem to function correctly here. Well, I start the session, press the meta key, and then the right left keys... works a couple of times (not always the same, sometimes not even one time), and then the left and right keys don't work anymore- And is the same on wayland. Curiously enough, once the keys stop working, the right key works when go to the "configure application launcher" button after going into the search field (but can't go back with the left, only go down from there) Sorry if this is stupid, but Manjaro (6.2) in a VM (Virtualbox) doesn't this problem, left and right working non stop. Same Manjaro (Plasma 6.2.4) in a USB live image, no problems navigating left and right.

It's not about Application Launcher (also called kickoff). Kicker does not have a "configure application launcher" button, there's no button to the right of the search field at all, and the search field is at the bottom. You're talking about a different program. Please file a new bug report for this against plasmashell / Application Launcher (Kickoff) Widget. FWIW, I can't reproduce that one either with the steps you gave (except that I clicked the widget otiginally instead of using Meta, as I have the Meta key bound to Kicker at the moment to test some changes I'm making). I can freely move around with the arrow keys in Kickoff as well. So when you file the new bug please be specific about your system and configurations and the steps needed to cause the issue. Trying it in a new user account to see if maybe something is misconfigured in your user account is also a good idea to help us narrow things down.

Alright, my bad... but I gotta say that I have the exact same problem with the "application menu" as with the "application launcher", side keys stop working after a few tries. |
Created attachment 166529 [details] Issue description SUMMARY When you start typing something in Kicker (Application Menu) and the search results are displayed you can navigate on the main frame up and down, but trying to use left/right to move to the other frames doesn't work except sometimes for one instance and stops working again. See attached image for a better description. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the application menu/dashboard/launcher. 2. Write something on the search box. 3. Try to navigate to the other frames/submenus OBSERVED RESULT There is no navigation to the other submenus/frames. Except when prior pressing Down (and getting to the search box again, but then you can navigate to only ONE frame) EXPECTED RESULT As in previous versions, the focus changes to match the item being navigated with the arrow keys.
