Summary: KDE neon: Taskbar edit mode, deleting items is unnecessarily frustrating

Description jimbo 2024-03-19 01:15:31 UTC 
This has been a bug for a while but it's also present in Plasma 6. When editing a default panel you can remove items from the panel. To remove items a context menu pops up with an option to remove it. However generally when you hover over the context menu it will disappear and you have to 'fight' with it to get it to appear again. This is more pronounced if you want to delete more than one item from the default panel.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a default panel
2. Right click on the panel, enter edit mode
3. Delete an item from the panel
4. Repeat step three as the context menu behaviour gets more frustrating (disappearing on hover over, which is the opposite of what it should do) as you remove more items from the default panel.

OBSERVED RESULT
The context menu is flaky and tends to disappear when you want to move from the panel to the items in the context menu (e.g. delete).

EXPECTED RESULT
The context menu should be consistent and you shouldn't have to fight against it in order to select an item from the context menu.

That's not supposed to happen, for sure. :) I thought we had fixed this years ago, and I can't reproduce it myself right now when I try. Can you attach a screen recording that shows it happening?
