System Tray applet - reopens on desktop

SUMMARY

Unlike on a panel, when the system tray applet is placed on a desktop, it doesn't let you close the popup by clicking on the same applet icon again. The mere mouse key press (down) on an icon makes popup lose the focus, so it closes; and then the key release (up) accidentally re-activates an applet again, thus opening the popup.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put System Tray applet on a desktop.
2. Click on any applet, e.g. Audio Volume.
3. Popup opens up.
4. Click on that applet again.

OBSERVED RESULT
Popup briefly closes, and opens up again.

EXPECTED RESULT
Popup should close, but only when the mouse key is released (inside the icon, of course). And generally it should behave just like on a panel.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Possibly related issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449533 was fixed recently. I don't understand what that fix actually was doing, but there's is definitely some focus preserving inconsistency in panels vs. desktop containments.

Can reproduce.

Comment 2 ratijas 2022-02-05 03:16:58 UTC

Long story short, panels don't take over the focus when clicked, unlike desktop containments. This has nothing to do with the system tray applet itself, and is actually reproducible with any expandable applet in compact mode.

Interesting observations:

1. If clicking very fast, sometimes it takes much longer than average from the time the popup starts hiding to the time it re-appears.
2. Holding down the left mouse button before letting is go visualizes the process on hiding on press and re-appearing on release.
3. Holding button for too long causes containment to enter Edit mode.

Fixed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1434

Kinda a duplicate, but not quite because those fixes are on a per-applet basis, not on a framework level unfortunately.
