Bug ID: 450398
Summary: Navigation in system settings breaks with identically
named pages
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_plymouth
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ras...@familie-mecklenburg.de
Target Milestone: ---

Screenshots of the affected plasma settings page. above: German, below: English
SUMMARY
When the system language is set to german, the names of this KCM and the Plasma
splash screen KCM are translated to the same word, "Startbildschirm".
This is not a bug in itself, but leads to strange behaviour:
When one of the affected KCMs is selected, clicking the other does not cause
the system settings app to switch to the other settings page. Only navigation
between the two affected settings pages is affected, navigating from or to any
other part of the "appearance" tab produces the expected result.
My guess is that the settings app uses localized strings in some way to handle
navigation, which causes breakage if there are two identically-named settings
pages.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure this KCM and the plasma splash screen KCM is installed
2. Set the system language to german
3. Visit system settings -> appearance, select one of the identically-named
options
OBSERVED RESULT
Navigation between the two identically named pages breaks
EXPECTED RESULT
Navigation working normally
