Bug ID: 511146
Summary: When application dashboard search field is focused,
its not possible to navigate menu entries with arrows
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Dashboard widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When opening the application dashboard, using the global keyboard shortcut or a
mouse click, if the search field is focused (which isn't always the case, see
bug #510871), it is not possible to use the arrow keys to move the focus to the
favorites or application list.
Compare with how the Application Launcher ("kickoff") behaves, where when the
search field is focused and empty, using the arrow keys moves the menu focus.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Application Dashboard.
2. Focus the search field, if not already focused.
3. Use the arrow keys to access the favorites or application menu.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The focus should move to the application list or favorites and the user would
be able to select an application to launch without searching.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are few additional navigation issues related to the search field:
1. If the search field is focused, using TAB to navigate to other sections is
unintuitive as the Favorites section is the last in the tab order (it should be
first)
2. If the search field is not focused when the Application Dashboard launches
(which may not be desired anyway - see 510871 - especially if this issue if
ever fixed), using the down arrow focuses the last favorite in the first
Favorites line, while intuitively one might expect the first favorite to be
focused.
