ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2024-02-29 14:39:37 UTC 
I can reproduce, but it's more complicated than reported. It sometimes works for search results, it doesn't work navigating in submenus.
Comment 2 duha.bugs 2024-03-02 15:12:33 UTC 
The bug appears both in wayland and X11 on Plasma 6.

Does work correctly in Plasma 5.

Findings:
If you search for something and don't use your arrow keys it opens the (top most) App as expected. Because the search field has focus.

If you search for something and use the arrow keys  -> The search field has no focus anymore
Press enter and the search field gets focus.
Press enter and it will always open the top most App

If you navigate with the arrow keys with out searching:
After pressing enter the search field gets foucs.
Nothing gets opened because there is no top most app.

Dashboard search is also broken ( I think this shares a codebase?)

Can't use enter to open applications, but allows multiline (should not). Afaik this worked correctly at one point in plasma 6. Not sure if this is a QT or KDE bug.

Comment 4 paninomaninodesu 2024-03-04 00:36:24 UTC 
I use "Application Menu" (that simpler one).
Hiting enter doesn't open the program.
Other thing I noticed, when using the arrows to enter a category no programas are selected. Shouldn't the first program on a category be selected automatically?

Tested only on X11.

Disable internal Key navigation

Kicker has completely custom key navigation, from the code it used to
have key navigation managed internally by ListView but there was a stray
keyNavigationWraps there , which in Qt6 makes it enable key navigation
anyways
Explicitly disable it and get back to existing code managing the keys.
also make sure the current item has focus, so enter to start works again
