            Bug ID: 363830
           Summary: Search options panel/view auto-activates
           Product: khelpcenter
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-doc-english at kde.org
          Reporter: rjvbertin at gmail.com

The latest khelpcentre introduces a new toolview, a Search Options panel. This
auto-activates when it shouldn't; at start-up and at times during regular use
too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start khelpcentre 16.04.1, switch to the Contents toolview
2. wait to be certain it accepts to stay there (for now) then exit
3. launch again

Actual Results:  
The window will appear with the Contents panel active as expected, but within a
second or so it switches to the Search Options panel.
If the system is really slow the window may open with that panel already
active.

Expected Results:  
Window reappears with the previous state in which it will remain. The Search
Options panel has no reason to activate automatically (at least I see none).

I would personally call this a major issue because the obligatory extra click
caused by what feels like non deterministic behaviour gets very annoying very
fast.
