Could you check behavior on Wayland session? I suspect the applet just can't occur in Status and Notifications pane there (I'm sorry I have broken setup ATM so can't check it myself). It appears in the system tray just fine in the wayland session and still changes the layout when scrolling. What I meant it should always appear visible in systray and not in Status and Notifications pane as in the video. But OK I'll check it when I get a chance. Status and Notifications is the title given to the System Tray's expanded popup. So if it's in there, it's in the System Tray--just as a hidden applet rather than as a visible one. :) So can an applet in Active state (not hidden) be in the System Tray's expanded popup? Note new applet is always active or not visible at all. Hmm good question sedrubal, could you try to reproduce on Wayland? I'm setting it to X11 only meanwhile Yes it behaves similar under wayland. In the meantime the issue is less worse as there are tiles used instead of a list for the items in the tray and you don't have to scroll all the time to see all items. Thank you. Then it behaves differently than I expected, as I supposed this particular applet is always visible on Wayland. I'll need to reproduce myself, yet. (In reply to sedrubal from comment #0) > 2. Configure the keyboard indicator to be hidden in system tray I didn't try it yet just curious why hide the indicator? The new indicator was not intended to be hidden at all, if it's not needed it can be disabled instead. And old indicator can be disabled in Keyboard KCM also. Not sure this behavior is worth disabling. Many other widgets react to scroll and this isn't disable-able. In all cases I think the answer is the same: 1. Don't scroll over it if you don't want to trigger the scroll behavior 2. If you do, scroll in the other direction to get back to where you were before |
Created attachment 123726 [details] Screen record of scrolling over keyboard layout switching indicator by mistake SUMMARY When you scroll over the kayboard layout switcher in the system tray the keyboard layout changes automatically even if it is not intended.

Have enough elements in the system tray in order you are able to scroll the collapsed list 4. Scroll over the keyboard indicator OBSERVED RESULT The layout switches EXPECTED RESULT The layout should not be switched if it is not inteded.
