This condition should never happen; forwarding to the German translation team. We had a similar issue in French. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > This condition should never happen; forwarding to the German translation > team. We had a similar issue in French. Thanks, Nate. This is my first report here and I wasn't quite sure where to put it. Why do we rely on the uniqueness of translated strings for navigation here? That seems to me like it might cause similar issues elsewhere in other languages. We could rely on the uniqueness of untranslated strings or IDS, but it would run into the same problem if a 3rd-party installed a KCM with the same name or ID. Ultimately we have to be able rely on *something* being unique. :) SVN commit 1619554 by schwarzer: distinguish splash from boot splash M +4 -5 plasma-desktop/plasma-desktop._json_.po M +9 -8 plymouth-kcm/kcm_plymouth.po M +8 -8 plymouth-kcm/plymouth-kcm._desktop_.po M +6 -6 plymouth-kcm/plymouth-kcm._json_.po WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1619554 |
Created attachment 146831 [details] Screenshots of the affected plasma settings page. above: German, below: English SUMMARY When the system language is set to german, the names of this KCM and the Plasma splash screen KCM are translated to the same word, "Startbildschirm". This is not a bug in itself, but leads to strange behaviour: When one of the affected KCMs is selected, clicking the other does not cause the system settings app to switch to the other settings page. Only navigation between the two affected settings pages is affected, navigating from or to any other part of the "appearance" tab produces the expected result. My guess is that the settings app uses localized strings in some way to handle navigation, which causes breakage if there are two identically-named settings pages. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure this KCM and the plasma splash screen KCM is installed 2. Set the system language to german 3. Visit system settings -> appearance, select one of the identically-named options OBSERVED RESULT Navigation between the two identically named pages breaks EXPECTED RESULT Navigation working normally SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux x86_64 with kernel 5.16.9-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION See the attached image for an illustration of the issue.
