Thanks for the report. Can you please upload a screenshot or video of the issue you're seeing. I've just reset kate to defaults and can't see where this +100 button is. I've set this bug to NEEDSINFO. When you reply, please change the bug back to REPORTED so we know it's ready for investigation or RESOLVED/WORKSFORME if the issue is now resolved.

This appears to be an issue with your chosen icon set. This button for me looks like the attached screenshot (using the default Breeze icon set).
Can you please check with the Breeze icon theme and if that resolves the issue. Which icon set are you using?
This is why i absolutely enjoy our operating system! Thank you fellow GNU friend for responding to my report lightning fast! I have to take a moment and enjoy how amazing it is to be a nerd in a nerd OS with fellow nerd who like messing with things! Thanks you so much for responding so quickly. I am using the default Manjaro KDE setup, so they may have some tweaks in place. I found this [code] Quick Open List Mode=0 Quick Open Search Mode=0 [/code] in my $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/katerc Wow. I don't even finish commenting! I am using Numix Circle so that is probably why the bug with the +100 icon. So what is that even supposed to do? I get a search bar and a button. If I click the button I expect it to go "back to that document" but it makes a new one. What is that 'screen' for? (In reply to israel from comment #5) > Wow.

I can get a github and tell Numix about the icon problem. I'd like to use Numix on the Pinephone. you know how it goes with icon themes...... (In reply to israel from comment #5) > Wow.

It's there for those users who might have dozens of documents open. Instead of trying to find the tab they can use that button and type some or all of the filename and easily switch to that file. I'd definitely suggest reporting it to the Numix team. As for Pinephone you'd be best off jumping into their chat room to discuss that. I'm just pumped about the pinepnoe and want to drop that name everywhere :D I guess that makes sense to have, but it would be reasonable to add a "recent documents" or "open new file" option when there is only 1 item. This would make it less confusing to new users. i have spent hours and hours on design, and making design work for actual humans intuitively. The "quick open" dialog is not intuitive if you only have only thing open. If this could be ammended in anyway to assist new user to discover this useful feature I think this would improve the usability of this specific component. As a fresh user and someone who has coded in Qt/QML/C++/Rust/Bash/Python/etc... please take my advice to make your program more intuitive to a brand new user. It is frightening to a new user to do something that makes your current document disappear without knowing how to get it back. Clicking on "Untitled" should have opened my document rather than reating "Untitled 2". This may be a small series of paper cuts, rather than one "bug". It may be that the default OnClick behavior should be different if the Document List is < 2. I am not sure what the intended behavior of this feature is with a single document open (which is where i encountered this usability issue) If this is a 'feature' rather than a bug, I guess I just got pumped and thought KDE was different from GTK. C'est la vie, right. If this is a bug, then... "wait you care about user feedback?!?!? I have been using GNOME too long" Feature requests are always welcome and if you have experience in UI/UX and/or code then patches are always appreciated. However, they're best done in a separate report to keep things neat and tidy. |
