Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux As I have a rather long menu session, it is a bit annoying to keep the mouse button pressed while searching for the right system. I would rather see the possibility to click on the session button in the tabbar, the menu pops up, release the mouse button and select the right system by clicking on it (once more). This behaviour is consistent with for example the other menu's in konsole menubar. I understand that this will collide with other people wishes; perhaps it can be made configurable?
Created attachment 9016 [details] file showing the problem
That attachment deals with KHTML and printing... wrong bug report?
Comment on attachment 9016 [details] file showing the problem Incorrect bugreport. Kurt thanks for pointing this out to me.
The tabbar session list is the same as in the Session Menu list (which has the behavior you want). Do you have the menubar hidden?
I have both available. But for some reason I always use the Session Menu list. Perhaps I should be switching to tabbar session list. What about the possibility of adding submenu's in the session menu list, is that an option?
I actually don't know why the session list is in the menu Sessions and the tab bar. Duplicate list one on top of the other... perhaps the tab bar list should be removed (esp since you can assign shortcuts to sessions now). Other people have asked for some sort of menu structure; I'm not sure how the sessions could be arranged. Having folders, sub-menus like the bookmarks would be rather complex.
Look at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83042 for dealing with session menu.
That one is from as well ;)
Usability problem. This is a bug not a wishlist item.
There is no bug/issue. What you want is already there: just hold the left mouse button pressed until the list pops up, then release the button. This is the standard behaviour for this type of widget (implementing a delayed KToolBarPopupAction -- the same as in konqueror's back/forward/up buttons etc.): - click button = default action; - press button and move cursor = menu opens, selection on button release; - press and hold until menu opens = selection on click. OTOH, it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for the session button, but unfortunately the config doesn't allow for it. Not sure it's worth a bug though, since it would duplicate ctrl+alt+m. (o.t.: personally i find these widgets rather annoying due to the time wasted pressing the button, and would prefer a secondary button next to it (small downward arrow) for popping up the menu -- but this should be filed as general kde wishlist/enhancement)
Works as explained by Ionut. Thanks for the explanation. I learned something new today :)
