Version: 1.1.0-1 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Currently when you search something and nothing was found search field loses its focus. That means you can type right away your new search terms. It should do that only when there was some image to focus.
Confirmed, this annoyed me too in the last days ;-)
SVN commit 1095186 by aclemens: Do not steal focus when using simple search BUG:227992 M +3 -2 NEWS M +1 -1 utilities/searchwindow/searchtabheader.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1095186
(I haven't seen it yet but) That was fast, thanks :}
To be more precise: focus was always lost, not only on empty result sets. This also means that if you type too slow, search will be started and focus will be lost.
