This was part of an initiative to be less redundant in the UI; hence the explanatory text that says "Click Pair Device… to pair some". The idea was to show people where that button was rather than duplicating it in the placeholder message, because the duplicate would disappear the moment the placeholder message went away because you paired a device! We follow the same UI style in other places like the KAccounts and Firewall KCMs. Are you using Plasma Mobile? I saw you mentioned "the three dots menu" but that shouldn't be seen on the desktop. Yes sorry, this was the experience on mobile. Right, yeah, I can see how there's a problem right now. I'm not sure this is the right solution though, because after you pair the first device, the placeholder along with its "Pair" button will disappear, leaving you in the same situation you started in. Aha, it looks like I can use a display hint to make sure it's always visible, at least in icons-only form. Let's do that. Then I'll make a pass through other KCMs to see what else could benefit from this. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/bluedevil/-/merge_requests/196 Made this part of a larger project to do the same thing in more relevant places: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/issues/42 Thanks Nate, appreciate the speedy response and change!
