After last update to KDE 4.9.3 I found that the krunner (or whatever that little box coming up with Alt-F2 is called) does not react on Enter anymore. Last KDE version I typed 3 letters and pressed enter for the first entry, or pressed Down and then Enter for the second one. Now I have to use the mouse to click the entry, or I have to use Up twice, then Down to get the first entry which I then can also select with Enter.

But it looks like the first entry is selected. It just isn't.

From my feeling I would say this is a bug in KDE? But I can not find this bug nowhere on the 'net, only one about the search feature taking too much time and krunner eating some keystrokes. But that's not my problem.

Can someone please verify that this is not only my machine?

Thanks.

I can verify this on ONE machine, the others (2) never had this problem with 4.9.3.

Confirmed. This seems to be the bug report on kde.org: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309787

Ah! Eventually I have the answer to this strange behavior. And it is nice that it is fixed in 4.9.4.

I guess I'll add 4.9.4 to my package.keywords, then. It is very annoying to have to use the mouse when the keyboard should be (and always had been) enough. ;)

Oh yes, it is really annoying. I've requested a backport of the patch to 4.9.3 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447136) because I'd rather not flood my package keywords with all the KDE stuff...

Well, I use a little script to flood it, and "portpeek -arf" to de-flood it when the packages hit stable. ;)

Sorry for the late reply. The update is finished, and krunner is again starting the first found match on enter.

Hi! I found a workaround that works for me:

1) Alt+F2
2) start typing the name of the program (e.g. "fi")
3) that will be extended with grey letters (e.g. "firefox")
4) press end, then enter immediately (in fast succession)
5) firefox starts : )
