'Acceleration profile' options are not available
I can confirm this issue. Opening the Touchpad window via krunner the 'Acceleration profile' options disappear. my version are : plasma 5.23.5 and 5.24.80 Regards, Galder I can reproduce all of that. I checked this in Plasma 5.25.5 (Fedora 36), all methods I tried show the "Pointer acceleration" slider. Can you please re-test? If there are some situations where the control is missing, can you please specifically list how to reproduce those? Thanks. Sorry I misunderstood the issue. I din't get the "Acceleration profile" control at all on any method I tried. But I'm not sure that we even need this field anyway given that the user can just set "Pointer acceleration" to 0 if they don't want acceleration. Created attachment 152383 [details]
screen recording
Sometimes 'Acceleration profile' options are available after opening System Settings and then going to Touchpad KCM, sometimes they aren't. And 'Acceleration profile' options consistently appear after the steps below seen in the screen recording attached to this comment.
1. open System Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad KCM - sometimes the 'Acceleration profile' options are available after this step, sometimes they are not
2. if the 'Acceleration profile' options aren't available, change 'Pointer acceleration' setting
3. go to another KCM without applying the change - apply/discard dialog shows up
4. click on 'Discard' button
5. go back to Touchpad KCM - now the 'Acceleration profile' options are available
And the 'Acceleration profile' options are always missing when I open the KCM by other ways (kickoff, krunner and CLI). *** Bug 461332 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The acceleration options are missing when I open the kcm via System Settings or with the following command: $ kcmshell6 kcm_touchpad Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.81.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Graphics Platform: X11 'Acceleration profile' seems to have been renamed to 'Pointer acceleration' in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/4ef30aeb1161a989b3d21b01a928ac037b31c34b So updating the title accordingly. Demoting this from being a 15-minute bug since the X11 session is no longer default in Plasma 6. |
