Description Luca Beltrame 2015-08-21 20:54:09 UTC

In recent master, if one right clicks on a file and moves to select the activity linking plugin, the context menu that opens immediately starts flickering (opening and closing, possibly), thus disallowing selection.

I will try to attach an animated gif / link to a video showing the issue

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a file (FV / dolphin)
2. Mouse over to Activities
3. Move the mouse on "Link to current activitiy"

Actual Results:  
Menu starts flickering (opening/closing), making selection impossible

Expected Results:  
The menu should stay open and allow selection.

Screencast showing the bug

Here's the video showing it, the effect is slower in the video, but you see it (actually it opens/closes several times per second).

Comment 2 Luca Beltrame 2015-08-21 21:14:12 UTC

It's also worth mentioning that when the behavior occurs, similar lines are outputted:

QSqlDatabasePrivate::addDatabase: duplicate connection name 'kactivities_db_resources_72749856', old connection removed.

several times.
