Description Tamás Králl 2024-12-26 16:22:33 UTC
SUMMARY
After a new operating system installation or after booting into live media, the wallpaper provided by the operating system isn't highlighted in the System Settings 'Wallpaper' KCM. However, selecting and applying a wallpaper will highlight the currently used wallpaper. So this bug can only be reproduced once per installation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot into a live Neon environment from a USB flash drive
2. System Settings > Wallpaper
3. Scroll to the currently used wallpaper, the one chosen as default by the OS

OBSERVED RESULT
The used wallpaper isn't highlighted by a blue border around it.

Does the same thing happen if you right-click the desktop and choose "Desktop and Wallpaper"? Or is it only seen on the System Settings Wallpaper page?
Comment 2 Tamás Králl 2025-01-05 13:33:34 UTC
It happens in both situations, so the bug isn't limited to the System Settings page.
