I can confirm the bug that dismissing the undo notification exits panel edit mode. Not sure whether we should fix just this, or make any click elsewhere not automatically exit panel edit mode. Personally I find it kind of convenient to be able to exit panel edit mode by clicking on the desktop, but I can see how this might seem unexpected Is bug 424712 a contradicting request? This is still an issue in current Plasma 6.1, except that with the new separation between Panel Configuration and Edit Mode, Edit Mode remains active and only the Panel Configuration closes when pressing the button. I'll take the liberty to update the Summary to reflect this. It seems like this has been since fixed in master. |
Created attachment 130280 [details] Screenshot of the sticky notification SUMMARY The panel edit mode is very fragile. Clicking somewhere else will immediately close it, yet there's an explicit closing button for this purpose. I'd suggest to keep it open. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Unlock widgtets 2. Edit panel 3. Remove a widget 4. Click away the sticky notification which overlays the panel edit OBSERVED RESULT The edit mode is exited EXPECTED RESULT The edit mode is kept open SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
