SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start a Plasma Wayland Session 2. Open and close any app to bring focus away from the desktop 3. type a krunner command of your choice OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT krunner should be invoked and capture your keystrokes SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon Unstable (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.247.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION On X11 session, krunner works as I outlined- without clicking on the desktop, but with mouse hovering over it, krunner is invoked by typing on the desktop.
Cannot reproduce; works for me as described on Wayland.
I'm having the same issue on endeavourOS. It seems like the desktop does not have focus. It works sometimes, but not all the time. I'll keep trying to find a reproducible case. It seems to consistently not work on my first virtual desktop even when it works on others. If I trigger it and then hit escape enough times. Eventually it stops showing up. If I trigger krunner via shortcut such as alt + space or restart plasmashell. It starts working again. Except for on my first virtual desktop as mentioned before.

Good catch- yes, the problem is only on virtual desktop 1. All other desktops are working as they should
Same here, seems indeed a desktop focus issue. Plasma 6.0.1
I can reproduce on virtual desktop 1 with closing or minimizing any windows. Works as it shoukd on any other VD. Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-25-generic (64-bit)
Alright for all of you that are able to reproduce on virtual desktop 1. Do you happen to also have xwaylandvideobridge running? The window itself is invisible to the user, but when using krunner. It always says that xwaylandvideobridge is running on virtual desktop 1. If you kill the bridge process. Does it start to work again? Killing the process for me seems to fix the issue, so perhaps the real problem is that the invisible bridge window actually has focus on desktop 1.

Yes, that solved the issue for me.
I'm beta testing 6.1 and no longer see an xwaylandvideobridge window and no longer have the issue of it invisibly eating input, so I will close this as fixed in plasma 6.1
Looks like I prematurely closed this. It is true that I no longer see a tiny square denoting that xwaylandvideobridge is running, but the input is still being eaten invisibly. I don't know whether it was a one off that I got it to work for a time or not, but it is back to not working on the first virtual desktop again.
Since xwaylandvideobridge has been dropped having served its purpose. I'm going to close this.
Right, thanks for the reminder. I closed all the other ones too, and marked the product as no longer open for bug entry.
