Bug ID: 421544
Summary: [kcm/kwinrules X11] KWinRules KCM Redesign: Fallout:
Edit Rule, Delete Rule
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Component: rules
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Depends on: 421540
Target Milestone: ---
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #421540 +++
[Frameworks/plasma git-master, so this is the redesigned window rules kcm.
qt-5.15.0_rc ]
This one's arguably a new feature, but I call it a bug, particularly the delete
aspect as that's an unnecessary risk to existing rules.
Perhaps it's because I'm a computer person used to working with a
mouse/touchpad/trackball/etc, not a cell-phone person used to dealing with
touch, but...
I'm used to being able to double-click an entry to "modify" it, and now that
doesn't work; double-clicking a rule does nothing. I have to slide the pointer
several inches over to the right (75-inch 4K TV as a monitor, so it's
/literally/ several inches on the display!) and hit the (relatively) small edit
button in ordered to modify, instead of just being able to double-click
anywhere in the (relatively) larger entry.
Meanwhile, deleting seems to be much more dangerous now. There's no
confirmation, and hitting the delete button means I'm focused all the way to
the right on it, and don't see that the entry name to the left is different
with the deletion so a different rule's delete button is now under my pointer.
As nothing seems to have happened, my reaction is that there was no response
and to try hitting the delete button again! Obviously, doing that repeatedly
could quickly decimate my existing rules, instead of deleting only the one I
initially intended to delete. (And that's not even considering the possibility
of hitting it by accident.)
Preferably there'd both be some sort of delete confirmation to avoid an
accidental delete, and some sort of delete animation or something, so I can
tell something happened even if I'm focused on the delete button and don't
notice that a different rule filled the spot of the deleted one. But at least
one of the two would be better than the current situation and should be
strongly considered before a release with the new design. I'm just glad I
/didn't/ hit that button again!
