Bug ID: 489839
Summary: Changing "Desktop and Wallpaper" settings and then
going back to the defaults will not count as unchanged
settings
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eamonn...@protonmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If you open the Desktop & Wallpapers setting for a given desktop and change a
setting, such as the current Wallpaper or Right Click action for the Desktop
(any setting reproduces the behaviour, these are just examples), going back to
the defaults will not register as having unchanged settings. This is
inconsistent with the rest of Plasma, where changing a setting but going back
to the existing settings before the settings were changed will correctly
register that no settings were changed (the "Apply" button will be disabled,
and closing the window won't give warnings about unchanged settings).
As a simple and possibly common example, select a new wallpaper, and then click
on the previously selected wallpaper (i.e. the current one), this does not
count as an unchanged setting. The "Apply" button is still active, and
attempting to close the window will give you a warning that unchanged settings
will not be applied. I note this as a common example as I originally thought
this only applied to Wallpapers until I was writing this bug report and tried
other settings, and discovered it applies to all settings under "Desktop and
Wallpaper"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "Desktop and Wallpaper" settings.
2. Change a setting, such as the current Wallpaper, but any setting will do
(including Mouse Actions settings).
3. This marks the settings as changed, so the "Apply" button will be enabled
and attempting to close the window will warn that there are unsaved settings.
This is normal so far and not a bug.
3. Change the setting back to what it was when you opened the window, i.e. if
you changed the wallpaper, go back to the previous Wallpaper
4. The "Apply" button is still enabled although the settings have been reverted
back manually, and attempting to close the window will warn that there are
unsaved settings.
OBSERVED RESULT
Changing "Desktop and Wallpaper" settings and then changing them back while the
window is open does not register that settings are unchanged. Attempting to
close the window will result in an incorrect warning that settings will not be
saved, although there are no changed settings to apply. This is inconsistent
with the rest of the Plasma Desktop which will correctly understand that going
back to the current settings means there are no unapplied settings.
EXPECTED RESULT
The "Desktop and Wallpaper" settings should understand that going back to the
existing settings without applying them means that there are no unchanged
settings. This should hopefully be feasible as other parts of Plasma are able
to do this.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know when this began happening, it could have happened in Plasma 5 as
well.
