You're welcome. :-) I have investigated this further, and the dialog has been greatly improved in KDE 4.2. The popups have been removed entirely and focus never is taken from the search bar. Searching also does not start until you have stopped typing.
KDE 4.2 packages are available for Kubuntu Jaunty via normal means and also to Kubuntu Intrepid from the kubuntu-experimental package archive. (Installation instructions can be found here; http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2) ** Changed in: kdegraphics (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- Starting search before the CR takes focus away from entering the search string https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdegraphics in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
