Bug ID: 465073
Summary: GlobalDrawer gets hidden by Esc. even when in
non-modal Sidebar mode.
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kirigami
Version: 5.102.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: inbox@willchen.business
CC: notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: Not decided
SUMMARY
The GlobalDrawer component can be set to always show as a persistent sidebar of
icons even when collapsed.
This is officially recommended for some Desktop applications in the HIG:
https://develop.kde.org/hig/components/navigation/globaldrawer/#collapsible
However, with a recent change, even when the GlobalDrawer is configured as
such, pressing [Esc.] will still make it disappear completely.
There's a couple problems with this:
- There's no GUI element to completely hide the drawer when it's serving as a
sidebar. So this creates a secret state that can be reached only with the
keyboard.
- The icon-sidebar view is *already* the "collapsed" state when it's set to be
used. A completely hidden state is superfluous.
- Depending on the application, there may not be a way to get the drawer back.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kirigami Gallery.
2. In the Global Drawer, set the mode to "Collapsible Sidebar Drawer".
3. The drawer should now be a persistent sidebar, similar to the example
described in the HIG.
4. Press [Esc].
OBSERVED RESULT
Oh No! The drawer is gone!
I'm pretty sure this is new/a regression. I've been developing an application
that relies on the sidebar mode pretty heavily, and I would have noticed if
pressing Esc. made my main sidebar disappear every time.
EXPECTED RESULT
The drawer should not disappear when used as a sidebar.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I suspect this may have been introduced in MR #798, as that does touch the
shortcuts and back button, and nothing else has for a couple years.

Separate issue:
I'm pretty sure `enabled: !isMenu` is also new, but the code makes it much
clearer that that's supposed to happen, so I suppose that was broken before.
