Description Ludwig Nussel 2018-10-24 14:57:46 UTC

SUMMARY

copying https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1103687

when using the panel applet to change the number of workspaces, the kwin entry vanishes from the system settings module for shortcuts.

PS: naming the entry "KWin" is not very explanatory anyways :-)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open system settings, global shortcuts again. see kwin in the list
2. right click on the panel workspace list in the panel, setup workspaces, change number of work spaces
3. open system settings, global shortcuts again. see kwin not there anymore

Whoa, so it does.
Mine get replaced by ksmserver entries which is even weirder.

Confirmed.

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2018-10-24 21:16:51 UTC

Urgh, I see it.

KCM recreates a shortcut for next desktop. 

KGlobalaccel uses the aboutinfo - which is systemsettings.

Changing the "friendly name" of one shortcut, makes kglobalacceld rename everything with the same ID.

Everything still works, friendly name gets reset back when kwin next does shortcuts.

[kcmkwin/kwindesktop] Fix global shortcut's display name for kwin changing

Summary:
KGlobalAcceld stores actions grouped by ID and a single display name.
When an action with a given id changes, the display names change for all
actions in that
group.

The KCM sets the ID to "kwin" but does not explicitly set a display
name. This means it is automatically deduced which will be kcmshell or
systemsettings.

The end result is all kwin shortcuts get renamed in system setting's
global shortcuts UI until kwin is restarted.

This patch explicitly sets the dispay name.
Fixed-in: 5.15.0

Test Plan:
Changed virtual desktops
Checked global shortcut settings still listed kwin as kwin

Thanks for fixing this.
For the record I'd like to note that openSUSE Leap users will not benefit from the fix in 5.15. It would have to be backported to 5.12 LTS. Not sure what the criteria for backporting fixes is and this one might not justify it. Nevertheless I'm mentioning LTS here as I don't know how much the LTS version is on your radar.

Comment 6 David Edmundson 2018-10-31 12:23:14 UTC

There's a rule about new strings in backports.

This has a new i18n'd string "KWin". 
I probably could ask for an exception, but the bug seemed quite minor.

We could backport without i18n: KWin is hardly a translatable string.
