Steps to reproduce: 1. Activate Kicker. 2. Hover mouse cursor over 'Power / Session' section. 3. Press 'f' letter (for example). 4. Don't move mouse cursor. 5. Press 'i' letter (for example). Actual result: 'f' letter is entering in 'Search...' field but 'i' letter isn't entering. After moving of mouse cursor - ability to enter letters in 'Search...' field returns. Expected result: Ability to enter letters in 'Search...' field regardless of mouse cursor position.
Can't reproduce.
I noticed there is additional condition - if you have Panel at the top - then in step 2 - hover over 'Utilities' or 'System' section instead of 'Power / Session'. The bugs is triggered for me if after first entered letter there are found results directly under the cursor - and after that second and subsequent letters aren't entering in 'Search...' field.
Sorry somehow I inverted the meaning of my comment completely - I actually meant "Can reproduce" :). Looking into it.
Git commit 001c89d18ab737dd48451c73137004134fdc51b6 by Eike Hein. Committed on 21/08/2017 at 09:59. Pushed by hein into branch 'Plasma/5.8'. Set focus in this FocusScope. Due to the hover-handling behavior change in recent Qt we interrupt key event handling for search otherwise if starting search while mouse-hovering a top-level category.
