Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2012-11-12 20:27:38 UTC

Both the Add Items and Edit Activity dialogs are shown behind the greyed-out layer which they should normally be above of and therefore one cannot tap anything on them. Entering e.g. the name and saving with Enter works, though.
They are also too small (the Edit Activity dialog is too low, the Add Items dialog is far too narrow).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press the "Edit Activity" button
OR
2. Press the "Add Items" button
Actual Results:  
A dialog appears which looks greyed out and too small

Expected Results:  
The dialog appears above the layer and in the correct size

Happened with the Mer Devel image with updates from today (2012-11-12)

The "New Tag Name" dialog is affected as well

My guess is that a new pull of plasma-mobile-configuration OR kdelibs/kde-runtime was made without the other and now it is picking up the desktop components .. which have exactly the problems you describe.

Comment 5 Thomas Pfeiffer 2012-11-13 11:53:24 UTC

Could be. Is it something I need to fix by editing or deleting a config file, or does it have to be fixed in the packages?

Comment 6 Aaron J. Seigo 2012-11-13 20:05:22 UTC

ah, i may even know what it is ... this probably requires a kconfig_update script to not break upgrades.

to confirm ... open up ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and put this somewhere in the [General] section:

runtimePlatform=tablet,touch

then restart plasma-device (or reboot the device, whichever is more convenient for you). if that fixes it, then i will need to do a kconfig_update script to address the upgrade problem.

Comment 7 Thomas Pfeiffer 2012-11-13 21:19:36 UTC

Nope, that didn't do the trick :( I added the line (there wasn't even a [General] section there yet, so I added that as well), but the problem persists after reboot.
What's also strange: If I remember correctly, the dialogs weren't opened in a new window before, but now they are. And the greyed-out layer is over every window (blocking interaction) until I close the dialog window from the task switcher.

Comment 8 Thomas Pfeiffer 2012-11-19 21:01:12 UTC

The dialogs are fixed now!

Comment 9 Aaron J. Seigo 2012-11-20 09:03:47 UTC

Yep, sat down yesterday and tracked down what the problem was. The move to the new unified PLASMA_PLATFORM mechanism to define targeted component and other UI adaptations introduced a regression.

Really rather happy how quickly that fix rolled out to you :)
