Description Matthew Trescott 2017-04-15 15:44:57 UTC
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the application launcher.
2. Hover over "applications" and wait for the launcher to switch to that section.
3. Type an application name to search for it.
4. Press enter to open the application.
5. Open the launcher again. It will appear like this (favorites panel shows list of application categories): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_iE50uqUIIbYmZla2dWVEozYjA
Comment 1 Alexander Mentyu 2017-08-28 08:52:40 UTC
I'm experiencing different behavior - after hovering over 'Applications' tab - searching for app and pressing Enter to execute it - on second launch of Kickoff with Meta key - Favorites tab is displayed for ~0.5sec and then - Kickoff is automatically switching to 'Applications' tab immediately after it.

Can confirm this bug currently - for step 2 in the description one can hover over any other section in app launcher

I can confirm this behavior on Arch Linux running plasma 5.12 beta.
