SUMMARY

Editing these percentage text boxes seem literally impossible 🙃

OBSERVED RESULT

E.g., the "Stop charging at" text box:
- I have "97%" there and I want to change it to 95%
- I click with LMB and place the text cursor after digit "7"
- I press backspace to erase "7" (with the intention to type "5" afterwards)
- Now both "Stop charging at" and "Stop charging once below" both jumped to "50%" and my cursor moved after the %" sign (???)
- I have to struggle a lot doing random edits and changes to be able to enter the intended value there.

EXPECTED RESULT

Make it possible to edit :)

Yeah the qqc2 SpinBox is quite peculiar... re-assigning

Comment 2 John Kizer 2024-12-16 04:50:40 UTC

I don't have a device that supports "Stop charging at", but I can reproduce that it's difficult to edit the numbers in the other spinboxes on that page using the "click before the % and backspace" method you described, which is how I would also normally try to set a precise number there.

For devs - this isn't about the Pointer Speed use of the control, but is this fundamentally the same issue as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481187 ?
