Bug ID: 430951
Summary: krunner runs previous result / lower ranked result
when enter pressed quickly before search finishes
Product: krunner
Version: 5.20.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: alexander.loh...@gmx.de
Reporter: and...@xortux.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I use krunner to launch a few very commonly used applications, as a result I
would type alt+space, the first few letters of the name, and enter in quick
succession. Sometimes I hit enter too quick, before the search finishes, it
runs the program I previously run, or some other result I don't expect.
I have observed two behaviors:
1. If I have just the Applications runner enabled, the list would retain the
previous search results until the new search terminates, so enter would run the
previous result
2. If I have other runners enabled, sometimes other runners like Software
Center finds a result faster than the Applications runner, so I have observed
discover being run as it is briefly the top result
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open krunner
2. Type 'd' and enter in quick succession
OBSERVED RESULT
Previous top result is run
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin (first result for 'd') is run
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A few changes that I think could help:
- Wait until the search finishes, or wait a small amount of time, before
processing the enter key
- Clear the previous results immediately after typing the first letter
- A runner for user configurable shortcuts that searches fast
