No you don't...
you just click on icons top level and you get the emotificons KCM.
Please confirm if you get something else and attach a screenshot
You are right. I have tried again and it works as you said. I tried to reproduce what I reported before in Example 2 and I wasn't able. Moreover, now I figured out the behavior of system settings. If I type "icons" there is a double match under the "Icons" category: "icons" or "emoticons" in this case if I click on the "icons" result, the sidebar switches to the category displaying both items (the behavior I would expect). In the cases where there is a single match it does not switch and just displays the module. At this point I think this is the intended behavior. Though if I find it strange. With this behavior I never learn where a module is and how it is named, because I access it through its parent category when I use the filter bar. Thanks for the update; changing status. |
1. Open system settings 2. Type "cursor" in the filter text edit 3. Three items will be shown "Workspace theme", "Applications", "Input devices" 3. Click on "Workspace Theme" Result: The "Cursor Theme" module will be displayed on the right, while on the left column "Workspace theme" is selected Expected result: The "Cursor Theme" module will be displayed on the right, and the workspace theme category ("Look and Feel", "Desktop Theme", "Cursor Theme", "Splash Screen") is displayed on the left column with "Cursor theme" selected Example 2: 1. Type "emoticons" 2. "Icons" is displayed on the left column 3. Click Icons Result: The "Icons theme" module is wrongly displayed on the right instead of the "Emoticons" module "Icons" is both the name of the category containing the "Icons" and "Emoticons" modules and the name of the module. In this case it is impossible to reach the "emoticons" module while the filter is active. I need to clear the filter, and navigate to Icons > Emoticons manually
