Description Riccardo Robecchi 2022-02-25 17:38:05 UTC

SUMMARY
I have a dual-display setup (notebook + external monitor) with a panel on each one. On each panel is a disks & devices widget, placed directly (so not in the system tray). When I securely disconnect a device like a USB key through one of the widgets, the other always opens. The option "show popup when new device is plugged in" is disabled on both.

It is interesting that this happens even when only one screen is present.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two Plasma panels, place a widget on each.
2. Securely remove a device from one widget.

OBSERVED RESULT
The other widget opens up.

EXPECTED RESULT
The other widget does not open.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0

Can confirm on master

Comment 2 Riccardo Robecchi 2022-10-09 09:31:08 UTC

It seems like this doesn't happen any more on Plasma 5.25.5. Can anyone else confirm?

Eh, ignore what I wrote. It still misbehaves on my desktop. Curiously enough, it behaved correctly on my laptop; after a reboot, it seems like it's back to being bugged. I wonder why it was working correctly.

I haven't seen this behaviour any more after updating to Plasma 6.3. I'm marking it at fixed. Thanks everyone!
