Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. kcms/rules: Fix keyboard usability for comboboxes with multiple selection The ComboBox component handles keyboard events by keeping the focus on the main item. Here, `OptionsComboBox` implements a custom logic to select multiple options, where the standard handling fails. To fix it, move the special logic for toggling an option to the main component and activate it either by pressing `Space` or mouse clicking on the delegate.

Created attachment 170618 [details] The Activities property in window rules. SUMMARY It is not possible to operate the Activities combobox with the keyboard. The mouse must be used. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new window rule or edit an existing one. 2. Add the Activities property if it's not already present. 3. Use the keyboard or mouse to activate the combobox. 4. Use the keyboard to try to select or unselect which activities this property applies to. OBSERVED RESULT Pressing the spacebar or enter closes the combobox. EXPECTED RESULT I expected the highlighted activity's checkbox to be toggled. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
