KDE plasmas vers 5.8.6 KDE vers FW 5.28.0 Qt vers 5.7.1 open k launcher, left and icon, and the menu appears but you cannot search in the search menu. This also affects dialog boxes asking for credentials but seemingly nothing else in the system. I believe it has something to do keyboard layout; when installing the OS I selected UK English, and this is what it displayed upon login. But it was in practice a us layout. I went into the layout settings and there were no layout there, I added English uk and shortly after that I noticed this bug. Changing it back does not solve the issue. This is a security issue as I have to write passwords in clear when the system requires authentication i.e. synaptic and system operation related dialogs for which the system needs authorisation.
I've just tested this and I cannot reproduce this issue. Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
Yeah this is definitely fixed now.
