Description Martino Fontana 2024-02-02 21:44:34 UTC 
SUMMARY

In Plasma 5, middle-clicking the night color applet simply toggles it on and off.

However, now it toggles some strange states:
- In the "normal" state (when you start Plasma), with left-clicks you can toggle night color on and off, as usual.
- In the "weird" state, with left-clicks you can toggle "Not running" and "Off", both of which have night color disabled.

(With "left-clicks", I mean opening the applet's window and clicking on the toggle there)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have night color set up
2. Middle-click the applet
3. Try changing the state with left-clicks

OBSERVED RESULT
Left clicks toggle between "Not running" and "Off", until you middle-click the applet again

EXPECTED RESULT
Middle-clicks should be the same as left-clicks, with the difference that you skip opening the applet's window. (Just like in Plasma 5)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Night Color applet was merged with the Brightness applet in Plasma 6, and middle-clicks are handled differently there, so the issue as originally described can't happen anymore. :)
