--- Comment #31 from Anguo <kde_b...@overshoot.tv> ---
What you refer to as bugs are slight visual ugliness in some places. I much
prefer those to the complete unusability of the current default behaviour.
Since applying the fix, my workflow and efficiency has improved a lot.
Actually, fixing this regression allowed me to discover another reason why I
previously always confused my konqueror tasks. The default plasma behaviour is
that the tab orders in the taskbar is not fixed but depends on which tab in the
konqueror window is currently active. It happened invisibly without me ever
noticing before, so that I was getting almost crazy: "I could have sworn that
the window opened on that site was the right-most task in the taskbar".
Within 5 minutes of fixing the regression, what was happening without me
noticing, all of a sudden became apparent. It was night and day.
The regression is a huge usability nightmare, at least for many of us, judging
by the number of duplicate reports.
KDE has always been the DE which offered the most customisability, giving users
the most freedom.
It would take any seasoned KDE developer no more than 30 minutes to offer a
settings and take it into account in the patched method.
I dare take a chance at reopening this bug report, because:
1) We have a choice between slight visual inconsistencies versus a huge
usability regression. Which one is more important?
2) hiding other existing bug with the use of a regression and dumbing down a
software is akin to sweeping the dust under the carpet. Let the dust be
apparent until someone is motivated enough to fix it in a more appropriate
manner.
3) I am concerned about other users who experience the same problems. My own
system is fixed so I am happy for myself.
4) A single setting is all what it would take to have the best of both world,
giving the choice back to the end users.
