Fedora 44 - the start menu takes WAY too long to find the right program? (lemmy.world)

I'm several months into my Linux journey and this is one thing that is driving me absolutely crazy because it legit just works on Windows and OS X.

  1. I hit the start button

  2. I type "note"

  3. I hit enter.

If I give it a full second between steps 2 and 3, Notesnook opens as intended.

But if I hit enter at a normal speed, a game (Necesse) launches.

This is presumably because it's executing the command before the search finishes.

Can I change this behavior? I use AutoCAD for a living so typing a command and hitting enter really fast is a habit I won't be able to break.

Yes, sorry! I forgot there's two Fedoras.

The list should be updated before the [application] execution happens

This is how I expected it to function. I was really hoping it'd be fixed when I upgraded from 43.

I guess my temporary solution could be to change the shortcut for Notesnook to just "N" lol
