Video of behavior
video does not work, better use google drive or dropbox to share videos with issues The desktop pager is shown ONLY if there are two or more desktops OR when there is only one desktop and Latte is in edit mode meaning when the Dock/Panel settings are shown. Is that the case? (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #3) > video does not work, better use google drive or dropbox to share videos with > issues The video works fine with mpv. Just point mpv to the attachment URI. > The desktop pager is shown ONLY if there are two or more desktops Ah! I had a pager on a different edge before, and when I removed it, I didn't realize that also erased my virtual desktop names, count, and arrangement. I thought the result was that I had multiple desktops, but the shortcuts were erased, so no keyboard method to switch between them. I see now the other desktops have been entirely removed, but the shortcuts remain and work again when I re-add desktops. Is this behavior of hiding the virtual desktop manager with only one desktop intentional? This doesn't make sense to me, as it removes the convenient ways to create more or change settings. If it is, this bug is invalid. Another reason to change that behavior is that a user might, as I did, not have any idea the add-widget action was successful, and add 20 or so hidden desktop pagers, waiting to pounce on the user when they eventually find another way to add a new desktop. Latte just respects what the applet wants, if you think the applet should behave differently you must report it to plasma (In reply to andydecleyre from comment #2) > Created attachment 118012 [details] > Video of behavior You did't add it successfully. Try to drag and drop again more slowly.

Drag pager to dock OBSERVED RESULT No pager is added to the UI, though it is added in the configuration file. EXPECTED RESULT Pager visible on dock SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux, plasma-desktop 5.14.5-2, latte-dock 0.8.5-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.12.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am attaching: 1) redacted layout file before adding one pager 2) redacted layout file after adding one pager 3) video demonstration of bug
