--- Comment #3 from Jakob Petsovits <[email protected]> ---
I was going to file a separate bug about the search field not getting focused
when the sidebar opens a subcategory of settings pages (e.g. "Appearance") and
Ctrl+F doesn't focus the search field unless it's already visible. But looking
closer, it seems as if this is probably the same issue.

Steps that work (almost) as expected:
1. Click "Appearance" and the "Global Theme" view opens on the right.
2. Make sure your window is narrow enough so you only see one sidebar column on
the left (showing the "Appearance" tree of pages) and "Global Theme" on the
right.
3. Type Ctrl+F. Nothing *seems* to happen, however the search field focuses
clandestinely.
4. Type any letters. The sidebar slides back to the search field and finds
pages.

Steps that do nothing:
1. Click "Appearance" and the "Global Theme" view opens on the right.
2. Make sure your window is narrow enough so you only see one sidebar column on
the left (showing the "Appearance" tree of pages) and "Global Theme" on the
right.
3. Click into the white space on the right.
4. Type Ctrl+F. Nothing happens.
5. Type any letters. Nothing continues to happen.

Both the original report and my experiment make it seem as if the search field
has focus within the sidebar view - if the sidebar has focus, then typing in
the search field will also work - but clicking into the main view of the opened
KCM transfers focus away from the sidebar and Ctrl+F doesn't bring it back. I'm
not versed enough in Qt/QML to hypothesize why the search field would grab
focus for the field within the sidebar but not for the sidebar itself. That's
where I'd start looking, though.
