Bug ID: 456994
Summary: Press and hold to enter edit mode is inconsistent
across desktop area
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@ratijas.tk
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Pressing and holding on a seemingly empty space of a desktop may or may not
trigger Edit Mode depending on a quite unrelated factor.
Folder applet arranges icons in a grid, left to right and top-to-bottom. There
seem to be an event filter at each grid cell regardless whether an icon is
present there or not. It also seem to only create as much cells (including
filters) as needed to represent all existing icons, same left-to-right
top-to-bottom.
Imagine this being the layout of your desktop, where "O" are icons and numbers
are positions where you press with a cursor.
+---------------+
| O 1 o O |
| 2 |
| 3 o 4 |
| |
| 5 |
+---------------+
At locations number 1, 2 and 3 pressing and holding won't trigger the Edit
Mode, because the grid still contains more items to layout. At 4 and 5,
however, Edit Mode will be triggered.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure there is only a single on a desktop.
2. Press and hold either anywhere on top of it, or on the same row strictly on
the left of it.
3. Press and hold anywhere below it, or on the same row strictly on the right
of it.
OBSERVED RESULT
In step 2 Plasma will NOT enter Edit Mode.
In step 3 Plasma will enter Edit Mode.
EXPECTED RESULT
I don't feel like pressing and holding on a free desktop space to enter Edit
Mode should be a thing at all. But since it exists anyway, at least it
shouldn't be inconsistent and random like this.
