SUMMARY When using the application menu, searching for something and pressing backspace on the keyboard, the focus is initially in the result list of files/programs. This means to delete a character, you have to press backspace twice. Once to get the focus back into the text field and then again to actually remove the last character. So when you want to delete 2 characters you have to press backspace 4 times STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Search for something that returns at least one result 2. Press backspace (the last character will not be deleted, instead the focus goes back into the input field) 3. Press backspace again (now the character will be removed) 4. Now the focus is back in the result list, because there is still an item matching the search 5. Press backspace again and the last character will again not be deleted. Instead the focus switches back to the input field OBSERVED RESULT I have to press backspace 4 times to delete 2 characters. EXPECTED RESULT I only have to press backspace 2 times to delete 2 characters, while there is an item in the result list SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Nobara Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.11-204.nobara.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland System Version: 1.0
