STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable on-screen keyboard 2. Open Application Dashboard 3. Tap "Type to Search" to bring up virtual keyboard 4. Type text OBSERVED RESULT - Text gets inserted into "Type to search" dialogue. Backspace does nothing, and no search occurs. See attached screenshot. EXPECTED RESULT - A search occurs.

I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master, using a Flex 2-in-1 with Maliit. Can you see if you can still reproduce this with Plasma 6.3.5 or later? If you can, please set this back to REPORTED. Thanks!
Still happens. Using a Shiftbook tablet with a pen or just the touchscreen on KDE 6.3.5.
For reference, it happens when you use the touchscreen or a stylus and touch the "Type to search" text, not when you use a mouse to do so.

Confirmed on git master. Definitely broken.
Git commit f8a7dd4b98047d8264ef5836bbc65a9f8235fb7a by Nate Graham, on behalf of Arnav Rawat. Committed on 25/07/2025 at 12:35. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Fix virtual keyboards with the dashboard Searches were previously not possible with virtual keyboards, since there was no way to input, so I made it possible for touchscreen users to input.
