I fully agree that this is bad UX. Adding a tooltip seems like a workaround to me, I'm sure we can find an even better solution There already is a tooltip in the QML rewrite in Plasma 5.21. I agree that it's kind of a workaround. Some explanatory text under the field is an option, like we do for some of the controls in the workspace KCM. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1296 Git commit 248e8657341cdedfb1e445fe77f7ddf3ef8c00b3 by Nate Graham. Committed on 25/12/2022 at 17:55. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. kcms/ksmserver: Overhaul UI to clarify what options do The options in this KCM are quite technical and could benefit from some UI massagging to make sure they're comprehensible to the user.
