Description

Hello!

When using the setting to replace the run dialogue (Win + R) it shows the command dialogue correctly instead of the normal Flow Launcher dialogue, but focus is lost. I cannot select one of the shown entries or type or anythin. Only hitting enter and starting the default entry does work. What is wrong here?

Greetings!
