I don't know, but it is common here as well. The search you mention, is especially annoying, because the only way to run a command (the alt-f2 dropdown thing) uses search; when you enter a command it starts populating the list, but since you, at that point, haven't selected anything, the <enter> goes to waste and it doesn't do anything. I am too fast for it. I bet everyone is. I don't see why people use that or make it that way. It goes against anything that is natural. I don't experience that at all. if i alt-f2, as i type in kwrite, it auto highlights the top item in the list. So when i hit enter it launches kwrite. I am often faster than that.

However, as a test here, whenever I alt-tab to KWrite, no input is ever lost. But, compared to Windows, there is definitely a sense of delay everywhere. Even the mouse/text cursor blink (text cursor blink) is too slow. You select a position in some text, and then you wonder if it will ever start blinking again. They should shave a few ms off, maybe like 20% less time for each interval. I never noticed before but I do now. i don't experience that slowness either. What have you configured for to execute alt-tab switching?
are you using kdm or ssdm? i'm using kdm. kdm.
Now I am having to wait for my computer constantly. In Windows that was never the case (not for these things). I wish and wonder if there was an alternative to the alt-f2 thing that didn't use search and gave better error messages when a command was not found....
Anybody? Is there a real alterative to that alt-f2 thing? It is so horribly broken I would change almost everything about it. But I can't, as of yet I don't have any linux desktop coding skills :-/. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
