SUMMARY After opening kwrite on a file, there's a momentary delay while it loads. If you hit ctrl-F in that window, the search bar will be open but the input focus will be on the editor, not the search field. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open kwrite on a file 2. Quickly hit ctrl-F 3. Type a search term OBSERVED RESULT The search term is input at the top of the file, despite the search bar being open. EXPECTED RESULT The keyboard cursor should be in the search bar. KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I open lots of short-lived kwrite windows over a workday. Usually I'm looking for a specific term immediately after opening. This bug is only a momentary flow interruption and a few seconds' delay, but it adds up.
That is fixed in master and the 22.12 branch.

Confirm fixed. Sadly there's an unrelated bug on the 22.12 version, but with cherry-pick I can get a well-working version.
