SUMMARY This is the same as resolved issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372635 "do not follow mousepointer when accessing krunner via keyboard" -- but for current versions of Plasma. When I launch krunner, if the cursor happens to already be in an area that the new krunner menu uses, the menu item under the cursor gets selected. This leads to surprises and accidents if I don't take care to check for this occurrence before hitting enter. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure krunner to launch in the center of the screen 2. Move the cursor to the center of the screen 3. Launch krunner 4. Type something 5. Hit enter OBSERVED RESULT The sixth menu item action is performed. EXPECTED RESULT The first menu item action is performed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION X11 session
