[kwrited] [Bug 351665] KDE shown hidden menu items available but not openable

--- Comment #5 from Nick Levinson  ---
This is for consideration for future versions if applicable, given that this
one is closed to bug fixes.

Enter should be supported. I think it's common. I tested it (after the last
post above) in gedit and Firefox and both support it.

Nongeeks will not expect that. That the existence of a notification means the
icon has to have been relocated is too much for a nongeek to remember. So is
that nonresponse means a lack of notifications, when it ordinarily means that
it's broken. There should be a notifications quantity, either zero or a
positive integer, stated.

Whether the two apps I saw are unrelated to the problem or not, the quantity
should be somewhere, perhaps in one of those apps or perhaps elsewhere, and it
should be easy for a nongeek to figure out where the quantity is.

PS:
(In reply to Nick Levinson from comment #2)
 Clicking on the Software Updater icon or the Battery Monitor icon worked but
 clicking on the Notifications icon did nothing. If that means there were no
 notifications, I don't know how to verify that.

Yes, if there are no notifications, clicking on the notifications icon does
nothing.
If there are notifications, the icon should not be hidden in the first place.

 In the main menu (Kickoff
 Application Launcher), searching for Notifications got two apps but neither
 one said there were no messages (or any quantity of messages).

There is no application for showing/managing desktop notifications.

I don't know what applications you found there exactly, but the only ones I
find is about configuring the system and applications notifications, where
you can configure what sound should be played (or other action taken) when an
application wants to notify you about certain events via KNotify.
Totally unrelated to the desktop notifications that are shown by that
Notifications applet.

 This time, three icons were available in a nonroot account and clicking on a
 label did nothing and pressing Enter when an icon-label pair was selected by
 hovering did nothing.

Pressing Enter never was supported at all here.

 If an icon works, that's partly helpful but not adequate, because the common
 expectation among users is likely that clicking on either the icon or its
 label should have the same effect except when feedback shows it does not,
 such as if the label is editable, such as with a filename in a file manager.

Well, it's a bug.
But it won't be fixed any more for KDE4, as there won't be any KDE4 releases
any more.
It should work fine in Plasma5 though.

Does clicking on the icon directly (i.e. not on the text label) work?

Might be a duplicate of bug#301424...
