Created attachment 142011 [details] krunner getting keystrokes SUMMARY When the Application Launcher widget is embedded in a large panel - large enough where the applet switches from the icon view to the full content - the search field does not accept keyboard input. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create an auto-hide panel at the bottom of the screen to host the application launcher widget 1a. Add an empty panel to the bottom edge of the screen 1b. Set new panel to auto hide 1c. Set panel to center alignment. 1d. Increase panel height to ~>560px. 1e. Adjust panel width to roughly the same as the height 1f. Close out of edit mode. 2. Hover the mouse cursor at the bottom of the screen to show the panel, select the search field and attempt to type. OBSERVED RESULT The application launcher search field does not show what is being typed. If there was an app which previously had a focused search field, it appears to be getting the typed characters. For example, if no other applications are running/visible, krunner will trigger and show the search results. If firefox was open with the duckduckgo search field focused before, it would get the typed characters in that field. EXPECTED RESULT Application Launcher search field shows what is being typed and shows search results.

Hmm, in 5.23 the code has been re-worked such that it doesn't appear inside the panel no matter how tall it is. Re-titling the bug to be about that, since the originally reported issue is no longer possible to try to reproduce due to that.
