Description jimbo 2019-07-18 10:24:42 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. [Right Click] an empty space on the Menu Bar

OBSERVED RESULT
The docker listing is unsorted

EXPECTED RESULT
The docker should be sorted

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 7 Professional x64

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Although this is nitpicking, it would improve usability. Anytime I want to add a docker I have to spend a while searching through all the options. It would be a lot faster to find dockers if they were ordered alphabetically

confirming, as this is not consistent with "Settings > dockers" menu

Comment 2 Halla Rempt 2019-07-20 06:42:02 UTC

I'm not even sure this menu isn't autogenerated by Qt, since I don't know where it comes from.

Comment 3 vanyossi 2019-07-22 00:48:27 UTC

Assigning to myself, if its indeed Qt generated I'll mark it as solved.

Comment 4 vanyossi 2019-09-24 03:41:47 UTC

Unassigning as im currently not looking into this.

Comment 5 Scott Petrovic 2019-11-11 22:48:23 UTC

I am going to take a look at this...and see if I can come up with a patch. Just taking a quick peek at the code...I think might be pretty simple.

Comment 6 Scott Petrovic 2019-11-11 23:09:43 UTC

Starting to look at this a bit more...I don't know if we even want to be showing the dockers all here. We already have another way to see all the dockers that is only an extra click away (which is already alphabetized. This right click area probably should be used for something better than just showing the docker list again.

Comment 7 Halla Rempt 2019-11-12 07:40:06 UTC

I've just figured out where this comes from: it is a default Qt function since the dockwidgets Qt example also has the right-click list of dockers.

A quick google gave this: https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/31498-QToolBar-How-do-you-suppress-the-right-click-menu-that-allows-hiding-the-toolbar

Comment 9 Reinold Rojas 2024-11-21 18:31:11 UTC

Back in 4.2.5 you used to be able to have a list of dockers open by right clicking the empty space in menu bar. In Latest Krita 5.2.6 and git master it seems this functionality was removed as Scott P mentioned. 

Setting to resolved as this list no longer exists.
