When changing windows with plasma-runner/krunner module the target windows does not get the focus but you have *Alt+Tab* once more on it. I believe that the windows module has the main purpose of helping to switch to a window by keyboard for that continue to use only the keyboard on the targeted window. But this is now possible because the selected window is brought up but it does not get the focus. You have to alt+tab on it with defeat the purpose of the krunner windows module. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Konsole 2. Open Firefox 3. Shortcut on Krunner, type Konsole, select the Window - Konsole Actual Results: The Konsole windows is brought up but it does not get the focus for continue to writing on it Expected Results: The Konsole windows should be brought up and it should get immediately the main focus
Running debian stretch, plasmashell version 5.8.4. I have this on all my debian stretch based machines atm. I want to confirm this, it's kinda annoying and breaks a mouseless workflow. I see two other bugs in this bug tracker that seem to be the same thing: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372288 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350732 I don't know who has the power to do this, but this should be set to confirmed. Last release cycle I read a remarking that complaining after a release happens doesn't help, and he wants users to submit bugs. Well, here we are. Can I help more somehow? (I guess the next step is going to be code diving into the unfamiliar codebase that is KDE)
