PS: other actions do work fine with "Desktop" layout, e.g. right-click or mouse wheel. Weirder part is how FolderView works. https://phabricator.kde.org/D24748 Just wanted to add that this is *really* annoying. Right now I'm locked out from changing desktop settings: I had the desktop toolbox disabled, used the right click to access the menu. As application launcher (which I had on left MB) is my central usage interface I moved it (temporarily, I thought) to RMB. This works, but now I cannot access the plasma menu anymore.... Can't find any way of launching it (and fixing the bug won't help me on this either).....

Yeah, that's exactly the reason why there was no official way to remove the toolbox button for a long time... I suppose the only way to fix this "mess" is editing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc manually. Open the file in a text editor and change the "RightButton" setting to this: RightButton;NoModifier=org.kde.contextmenu (that line should be right at the beginning, but better search for RightButton through the whole file, I think there is one for each activity) Creating a new activity might help too, I don't think it will take over the actions from the current one, but rather use the defaults.

Quick hack
This patch keeps edit mode working. Downside: LMB action only works when applets are locked.
Not really helpful TBH. With locked widgets I cannot drop-paste stuff on the desktop using middle mouse button. At least I could select which part of the desktop is broken :P (In reply to Pit from comment #6) > Not really helpful TBH. With locked widgets I cannot drop-paste stuff on > the desktop using middle mouse button. > > At least I could select which part of the desktop is broken :P Yep :) I do not use that feature and didn't test it, so I didn't know I broke pasting notes. Sorry... Need to take back my apology ;) I installed plasma-workspace with my patch disabled and middlemouse click on a desktop with locked widgets does NOT paste a note. This works only in unlocked state it seems. I'm on 5.17.4, btw. Apologies - I didn't mean that your patch broke a feature. The 'feature' is that with locked widgets you cannot drop text notes on the desktop. As your patch only works with locked widgets (as I understand) I can only choose to either lock them and not have paste, or unlock and don't have LMB. Neither is really satisfying. That aside - thanks for looking at the issue. Same thing on Plasma 5.18 beta. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 So a FULL minor release cycle, and no one fixes this. And in 5.18, the hamburger menu is GONE. So I now have NO WAY to change those settings anymore, as I had put the application launcher on the RMB and relied (had to) on that menu in the corner. Are you thinking that a desktop environment doesn't need a working mouse? The importance of this really needs to be raised to CRITICAL now with this menu removal. Does Alt+D work when the desktop has focus? (actually it should be Alt+D,Alt+S, but there is another bug that will be fixed with Plasma 5.18.1) Should that open the config menu? But no, it doesn't do anything. I'm using sloppy focus though. However, I left-clicked in the Desktop before trying, and no other application seemed to catch that (any way to check?). Ah no, Alt-D, Alt-S in sequence does indeed open the configuration window (Wallpaper/Mouse Actions) with some delay that I might have out-typed in the first test. That's at least a workable solution to access that one. FTR, this is plasma5-workspace-5.18.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200213 (In reply to Pit from comment #11) > So a FULL minor release cycle, and no one fixes this. Notmart is the dev who did most of the work to recent appletslayout changes. So I contacted him directly via mail (Jan. 29) and pointed him to this issue. Unfortunately he didn't reply or fix the issue. Probably another dev could contact him or just (co)assign him? Thx! *** Bug 418315 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Works for me with git master. Can anyone using git master/neon deb unstable still reproduce the issue? works for me too. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 Hm, just updated Krypton, but still doesn't work. Is it a very recent commit (Krypton only updates once a day)? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! So I just read through the thread again - WHAT info is needed? I'm on plasma 5.18.4, there the bug is still present. Confirmation that it still doesn't work. Thanks for providing it. Mind, this is the official Tumbleweed package - I don't know if the mentioned fix in git has already propagated in the main tree? But I can't compile myself to check.... I can confirm that this issue is present in KDE in OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
