Bug ID: 473454
Summary: Closing the global app menu triggers panel auto-hide
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Global Menu
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.7n...@aleeas.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de, mvourla...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
A panel containing the global menu applet will auto-hide if the user closes a
submenu.
This can be very irritating, e.g. when the user tries to switch from the app
menu to the calendar widget. Clicking the date&time text while a menu is open
won't bring up the calendar, but instead it hides the panel.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up global app menu in an auto-hiding panel
2. Open any top-level submenu by clicking on e.g. "View"/"Edit"/"Help"
3. Close the submenu, e.g. by pressing ESC
Other submenu-closing actions that behave oddly are i) Clicking on other areas
of the panel (e.g. the date), ii) Clicking on "View" again iii) pressing the
left/right arrow keys twice (not sure why the last one closes the submenu to
begin with)
OBSERVED RESULT
The submenu closes and at the same time the panel auto-hides, even if the mouse
cursor is still hovering on the panel area.
EXPECTED RESULT
The only observable effect should be the submenu closing. The panel should stay
visible as long as the mouse cursor is still hovering on the panel. (For
reference, this is also how macOS implements its auto-hiding menu panel.)
