Description devhead 2024-03-08 14:42:37 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
Since the update to Plasma 6 on Neon, the Application Menu allows you to navigate using the arrow keys, but you cannot launch the selection by the enter/return key any longer. The Search box seems to get focus when pressing enter.

Additionally, when using X11 display server, when you enter a popup menu, a new window appears in the task manager, which is a little weird.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press the Win/Meta key to pop up the app menu
2. Use the arrow keys to navigate into a submenu and pick an item
3. Press Enter/Return

OBSERVED RESULT
Search box gains focus

EXPECTED RESULT
Application should launch
