Bug ID: 508524
Summary: UX problem: when mouse is already under krunner when
it expands due to a search, the item under the cursor
is opened on enter
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When krunner is expanding due to a search, the item that happened to by under
the mouse cursor by chance is executed on hitting enter. Since krunner allows
commands to be executed and has plugins with potential data loss (such as a
shutdown), I marked this as grave
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the mouse somewhere in the middle of the screen, upper half
2. Open krunner with a keyboard shortcut
3. Type to search
4. Hit enter
OBSERVED RESULT
Not the first result is chosen, but rather the one that accidentally was under
the mouse cursors when krunner expanded to show search results
EXPECTED RESULT
Krunner should only activate that item either on mouse click, or potentially
better, only do a mouse selection if there was a mouse move event. Otherwise
the user most likely used the keyboard and the mouse selection is an accident.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Any, really. Plasma is 6.4.4, but other versions are affected just the same.
