1) Open the applet alternative dialog for any applet This doesn't always happen but if you switch applet using alternatives dialog; second time it will not have correct entry highlighted.
I can confirm but only sometimes.

If you are wanting to swap between App Launcher and App menu via Alternatives, it always highlights the top entry in the list instead of the menu type that is currently active
Git commit 0e90ea5fea7947acaf56689df18bbdce14e8a35f by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 16/06/2015 at 17:51. Pushed by broulik into branch 'Plasma/5.3'. Improve Applet Alternatives dialog For some reason setting the currentIndex does not work properly. I tried both in the delegate and the view but neither worked. So, a Timer comes as a last resort. Also implement keyboard navigation, you can now use the arrow keys to navigate through the list and Return to accept or Escape to cancel. To achieve this we rely on the currentIndex rather than the checkable property.
