Description HJ 2019-02-10 21:16:53 UTC

Hi,

I have this bug since KDE 4 but no one seems to address it. I need multiple attempts to remove an item from the panel.

Why do we even have to use such a stupid approach to add/remove an item? 

Have a look @Xfce( https://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots/000/007/946/large.png ) where you can open a dialog that displays all items, you can drag them around, add or remove them - dead simple!

EXPECTED RESULT

A proper and user-friendly way to add/remove panel items even if they are empty

Yeah, not ideal. I can reproduce this with git master. The pop-up just really wants to close itself in various circumstances when the mouse has been moved over it.

Though I think we should fix the bug, not invent new UIs as proposed.
