Description dmatteo002 2024-06-12 20:15:21 UTC 
SUMMARY
When in Edit Mode, clicking on configure on a widget open a windows without closing edit mode.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Edit mode (or panel edit mode)
2. Right click onto a widget with configure action
3. Click "configure ..." option

OBSERVED RESULT
It open the window over the edit mode.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should open the window and close edit mode. This is what already happens if opening windows using Global Edit Mode Toolbar (ex. display configuration button,...).

Update:
1. "desktop and wallpaper" button: open window and change from panel edit mode (if inside it) to global edit mode
2. "global theme", "display configuration" and "panel and desktop management" button: open window closing edit mode in general
3. widget -> "configure ...": open windows and does close nothing

When using last option it open a window that can be partially hidden by the "Panel Setting" and when clicking on it it will pass from Panel Edit Mode to global Edit Mode

I think that this behaviour should be consistent. Also I think that the more sane option is to completly close the edit mode.
