Description Joachim Werner 2005-08-25 15:46:06 UTC

When you open the KDE start menu for the first time, the new search field is  
only half the size of the menu, and the background is visible. This doesn't  
look too nice (see attached screenshot).  
  
As soon as you move the mouse the field is redrawn in the right size.  
  
To reproduce this, you can do a  
  
killall kicker  
kicker  
  
and then open the start menu.

*** Bug 113288 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Benjamin Weber 2005-08-27 09:04:10 UTC

I don't think 113288 is a duplicate, it's a separate problem

Comment 4 Benjamin Weber 2005-09-01 19:42:29 UTC

both of these bugs still exist in beta4, if they're not fixed perhaps the 
search should just be removed,  
 
it isn't very useful without possibility to start the application when the 
search is unique anyway, you still have to move through the menu.

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2005-09-05 11:15:53 UTC

it's a help anyway to find something. KDE4 will hopefully see something more 
innovative there. I'm going to integrate Lubos's patch

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2005-09-05 11:34:11 UTC

I think this is a very visible and ugly problem, so I submitted a fixed 
package to be integrated in RC2 hopefully

Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2005-09-05 11:34:59 UTC

Benjamin: I can't reproduce 113288 btw. When I type text without having 
activated the search line before I activate the submenu that starts with that 
letter

Stephan: clip of the 113288 problem (taken in beta4):

Also any chance of it starting the application on hitting enter if only one 
application matches the search?

Ok I think I have a way to reliably reproduce this, confirmed by 2 other  
people. The key seems to be that sometimes the search field is active before  
you activate it.  
  
To reproduce:   
 
click on the menu, click on the search field, type in "ab" leave the mouse 
over the search field and hit escape twice to hide the menu, click on menu 
again (search field should be allready active) type in "ab" and move mouse 
over menu. "ab" should be overlaid with the "press '/' to search"
