(split out of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454842) SUMMARY If I trigger the effect with my mouse, the search bar is not selected, and I can press Ctrl-F or the up arrow once to select it. But once I navigate away from it, I can no longer return to it without the mouse. If I trigger the effect with my keyboard, the search bar is focused from the start, and if I navigate away from it, there's no way back without the mouse. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.4 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On Wayland, I can always focus it with Ctrl+F. But I can reproduce that you can't use the up arrow key to get back to it. Regardless, once you start typing, doesn't it automatically put text in the search field?
Only until I focus one of the windows with the keyboard — after that, letter key presses don't go anywhere.
