Description Serena Star 2023-07-05 05:23:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
After KRunner is used, pressing the meta key to open your launcher (kickoff/"start menu", to be clear) sometimes does not work anymore. Alt+F1 command always works to open launcher when it is the assigned keyboard shortcut. Putting the computer to sleep and bringing it back up fixes the bug.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KRunner
2. Close KRunner
3. Try to open launcher with Meta key
4. Launcher does not open, nothing happens

OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing the meta key to open your launcher does not work after KRunner is opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
KRunner having been opened in the past should not affect the user's ability to open their launcher with the meta key.
