My comment #30 no longer applies. But comment #31 is the best I can do, for right now. (I kept falling into logic loops while trying to do it "right", it's all very messy.) There are at least 6 States of entry for the Applications Tab: First Entry into the tab in a run of Kickoff (the ApplicationView is freshly initialized; Re-Entry into the Applications View form another View (it instead tries to go back to where you last left it); Entry from the SearchBar, with Search textArea empty and ApplicationView already having been visited at least once, with a location set; and entry from the searchbar, search textArea empty, but no location previously set.
The enforced behavior (pushing you into another Tab first) assures that the ApplicationsView is not continuously visible AND exited via the last character which you typed (Key_Up or Key_Down arrow). "Something" gets reset when you Key_Left or Key_Right back to 'Applications' from another view, making it visible again. Finding what "something" is, and doing the same action to/from the Search Bar and the Applications View, is the subject of new bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308397. That bug is to avoid the switch into "Favorites" on Key_Up and Key_Down. In L-to-R orientations, "Favorites" is only one Right-Arrow away from getting back to where you were. But the biggest problems (i.e., no ability to navigate at all, no ability to execute programs from inside certain Views) are already resolved (by either rev 8 or "cleaner" rev 9). So, I want this patch to constitute a platform on which to research that issue. That way, if I can't find "something", THIS fix is already in place for 9.3 (without waiting for the last minute). For me, it's like eating an elephant - too much to do all at once, and more safely eaten just one meal at a time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065096 Title: Certain keyboard shortcuts disappear between 4.9.1 and 4.9.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/1065096/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
