Bug ID: 416553
Summary: Bad UX with "audio playing" indicator on "Icons-only
Task Manager"
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.17.90

Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Demonstration of current "Audio playing" indicator on horizontal and vertical
panels
SUMMARY
With vertical panel on the left side it's very to accidentally mute application
sound
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on panel > "Edit Panel"
2. with "Screen Edge" move panel to the left
3. Open something with sound
4. Try to switch between application windows on the panel
OBSERVED RESULT
I accidentally click on "audio playing" indicator and mute sound of the
application
EXPECTED RESULT
"Audio playing" indicator doesn't stand in my way. Maybe make it smaller or
relocate it to the bottom left (some users and even distros (like KaOS) put
panel to the right edge so top right side location of the indicator will stand
in their way), or give user option to relocate it. Another way is an option to
make that indicator not clickable.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.12.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On the attached screenshot there's 3 panel:
- vertical with "Task Manager"
- horizontal with "Task Manager"
- horizontal with "Icons-only Task Manager"
As you can see on both horizontal and vertical panels with "Icons-only Task
Managers" that "Audio playing" indicator can be easily accidentally clicked.
