Description Andrei Rybak 2018-10-20 21:05:34 UTC

There is a "Testing area" panel in "Touchpad — System Settings Module" window.
It would be useful to have a similar testing area in "Mouse — System Settings Module" window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE launcher
2. Type "mouse"
3. Press enter key or use mouse to launch "Mouse — System Settings Module" window
4. Observe the opened window

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no way to test the mouse settings in the opened window.

EXPECTED RESULT
There is a "Testing area" panel similar to the one used in "Touchpad — System Settings Module" window.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS

There's not really anything relevant to test, though. What would you test in the testing area?

>  What would you test in the testing area?
That the settings now set (but maybe not applied yet) correspond to my expectations. For example, that the right/left handed button order works as I expect, or that double click is fast enough.

Thanks, I suppose that makes sense.

Just to clarify: I was very surprised that the testing area already present in Touchpad settings is not reused in Mouse settings, as pretty much all other DEs I've used before provide such a testing area for any pointer device settings menu (sometimes Mouse & Touchpad settings are closer together).
