Public bug reported:
I am running Quantal Beta 2 with full "apt-get dist-upgrade". Doing that
I noticed a change in KDE behaviour between the original Beta 2 release
(4:4.9.1-0ubuntu1) and the current version (4:4.9.2-0ubuntu2).
The change is related to "mouse-less" use of the kickoff launcher (I am
a bit of a keyboard shortcut fanatic, hating to use the mouse for
standard operations). For instance, when I wish to logout, I have always
been able to do it with Alt-F1, left, left, left, left, down, enter. In
the 4.9.2 the last 'enter' has no effect, I have to grab the mouse and
click on the "Logout" menu entry.
Likewise, when I wish to launch a program, the name of which I know, I
am used to do Alt-F1, some initial characters for the name until the
program is shown in menu, one or more downs (to get to the program,
enter. In 4.9.2, the initial character trick works, but I cannot use the
'down' button.
Now, I am not a KDE developer, but I did run a "diff" between the two
original sources from www.kde.org. And, true enough, there has been
some changes in the source to the kickoff launcher, and those changes
seem to relate to the interpretation of keyboard press events. Look in
the file plasma/desktop/applets/kickoff/ui/launcher.cpp.
So I think this is really an upstream problem. But if 4.9.2, as it
looks now, is included in the final release of Kubuntu Quantal, it will
also be a Kubuntu problem.
