Description Octavian Voicu 2010-06-19 15:17:29 UTC

OS:                Linux

Textbox is auto-focused only when opening dictionary by clicking its icon. Opening dictionary by keyboard shortcut doesn't let you type a word, unless you click on the textbox. This makes the keyboard shortcut useless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a dictionary widget on the taskbar.
2. Set a keyboard shortcut for it (let's say Alt+F5).
3. Press Alt+F5.

Actual Results:  
The the dictionary will pop-up, but the textbox won't be focused. There's no way to focus it unless you click on it (or open the dictionary by clicking its icon), so it makes the shortcut totally useless.

Expected Results:  
The textbox should be focused when launching the dictionary from a keyboard shortcut.

SVN commit 1206270 by aseigo:

the fix for 242173 in r1140471 broke use cases where the applet is activated and then showPopup(someInterval) is called. the showPopup call would get made, and then it would be overridden at the next event loop with a timeout of 0 due to the QTimer::singleShot in appletActivated. this queues _all_ calls to showPopup using a QBasicTimer, which should address the focus issues a bit more comprehensively for 242173 and not break, e.g., the autohide on the device notifier.
