Incorrect search behavior after Spacebar input while manually focused on a search result
Affected version
- GNOME Version: 43.2
- OS: Fedora Linux 37.20221225.0 Silverblue (extensions disabled)
- Windowing System: Wayland
Bug summary
Search result is opened instead of space character added in the search input field search when the Space bar key is pressed while manually focused on a search result. It has its implications - if we have a manual focus on a search result, we can't extend the search term with more words. The bug doesn't occur when standard letters are pressed.
Steps to reproduce
- In Activities menu, start typing a search query
- Manually focus on a search result using up/down arrows (bug doesn't occur when space is pressed while the first, automatically focused search result is in focus)
- Press Space bar on your keyboard
What happened
Currently focused search result was opened.
What did you expect to happen
Space character to the search input phrase being added, allowing to continue writing the search query.
