This is caused by the normal text overlapping the faded gray completion text, making their anti-aliased edges overlap and causing the text to look bolder than it should. We may need to redo how the faded completion text is implemented, as the current implementation of having two text labels overlap has caused multiple subtle issues. Git commit 7e851511d1be625eb218e5ca11dcc59bd765627d by Nate Graham. Committed on 13/03/2025 at 01:03. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. RunCommand: hide faded completion text when it matches search text In this case, we don't need to see it since it's not actually visible. This doesn't fully fix the issue of the text becoming bolder and/or fuzzier (depending on font and screen scale) when the faded completion text label is visible, but it does make the issue happen less frequently.

Created attachment 179216 [details] Screenshots made inside a freshly installed Arch VM and on host SUMMARY Text is blurry after typing in krunner textbox input. After pressing backspace text stops being blurry. After opening krunner with textbox remembering previous value it is not blurry. I am including a screenshot from a VM (800x600) and from my customized setup (in which the issue is worse). Changing anti aliasing in plasma settings and rebooting does not seem have an effect on krunner (but it works on the rest of plasma). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open krunner 2. Type a character 3. Observe blurry text OBSERVED RESULT Text is blurry (smeared 1px vertically) EXPECTED RESULT Text not being blurry SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have wayland
