** Summary changed:
- 5.4 RC1: HUD offers search results from app indicators more often than from
currently focused application
+ HUD - 5.4 RC1: HUD offers search results from app indicators more often than
from currently focused application
** Description changed:
When using the HUD, search results are always reduced to menu items in
the keyboard or network application indicators, irrespective of what
application has the focus.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Press ALT to open the HUD: the HUD search box opens with the FF icon next
to it
3. Type "pref": the icon changes to different app indicators (what app
indicator is shown varies), in particular the keyboard and network ones and
does not show any FF menu options
Expected behaviour
The HUD should favour menu options from the application that currently has
the focus and only show app indicator menu options as secondary items. In the
example above, the Firefox Edit > Preferences menu item would have been the
obvious one to show considering FF had the focus.
It looks like the HUD in its current state is only able to show search
results from the focused application or one of the app indicators but
not both at the same time. The result is that it jumps between focused
app and app indicators making it very unpredictable. A more stable
behaviour would be to show search results from both the focused
application and all app indicators with an order that favours the
focused application.
