Description David Benjamin 2009-10-23 16:06:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Kickoff menu to panel
2. Right-click and switch to classic menu

Expected:
Menu switches with no fuss.

Actual:
New menu button appears, I get a popup confirming removal of widget, and then the old one disappears. This makes little sense and exposes implementation detail.

Weird, I never experienced such a bug, and I can't reproduce it on:

Qt: 4.6.0 (Qt git branch 4.6 commit 52aef13521af2137db15ee878893f5c5150471e5
        Date:   Mon Oct 12 14:18:51 2009 +1000)
KDE: 4.3.73 (KDE 4.3.73 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091026))
kdelibs svn rev. 1043024 / kdebase svn rev. 1043024
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.30.6

- Could you try this on a new & clean panel ?
It could be useful to try this in a new&clean user account (just for testing)

Thanks

Still happens on a new panel. (This was a clean install.)

Perhaps this was fixed in a trunk build (I'm running KDE 4.3.2), or maybe an Ubuntu hack? Experimenting with other applets, only the launchers confirm removal, which suggests there is code to make specifically the launchers confirm.

Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-11-01 18:45:49 UTC

If you manually try to remove some launcher, do they ask too ? By default no widget will ask for confirmation on removal...

Comment 4 David Benjamin 2009-11-01 21:32:52 UTC

It appears that Kickoff is set up on my machine to ask confirmation, but no other widget.

Is this confirmation dialog standard Plasma feature?

Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-11-18 02:35:32 UTC

- Can you check this on 4.3.3 ? Thanks

Comment 6 Beat Wolf 2009-12-08 00:27:29 UTC

this is a kubuntu patch (the asking about the removing of a widget). marking as downstream. please report a bug against kubuntu

Comment 7 David Benjamin 2009-12-12 09:16:45 UTC

Alright. For documentation purposes, in case people get to this page, it appears the bug was already in Launchpad here:
