Yes

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

I hope this helps (first time writing an issue here, feel free to ask for necessary details):

  • Press Alt+Space (Hotkey to show up PowerToys Run)
  • Enter any Drive letter (that's what I usually do, most of my searches start with Drive letter) > D:\
  • Navigate through suggestions

✔️ Expected Behavior

I am pretty adept at using Windows Run and I noticed this behavioral difference between Windows Run and PowerToys Run
Windows Run, even when scrolling through the list of suggestions doesn't change/switch to the suggestion selected
Explained better by example:

  • Searching D:\ let's say shows 3 folders in it, namely - A, B, C
  • I navigate selection to B
  • Nothing happens

❌ Actual Behavior

I expect same behavior from PowerToys Run. Because not always, but PowerToys Run sometimes will start navigating inside B folder (from example above, basically I mean to imply it kinda switches to new query, when we are navigating, and starts searching in that new query selected, which is explorer path)
I'd like to point these below anyways in hope for better experience:

  • Windows Run won't switch to new query unless input query is changed
  • Even while navigating cursor through the input query in search box, query doesn't change
