SUMMARY
Cannot configure tray widget via "Manage Panels".

I'd like to configure system tray, but there's no such action in the context menu because of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449565. However, following the workaround didn't work either.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. RMB on digital clock, click "Configure Panel" (Alt+D, Alt+S)
2. hover system tray ---> menu appears with options to Delete or Configure.
3. move mouse pointer up in an attempt to hover "Configure..."

OBSERVED RESULT
The menu disappears, cannot click "Configure...".

EXPECTED RESULT
The menu should be usable, e.g. stay on screen so I can click on it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2025-04-21 14:33:39 UTC

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.2.4 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.3 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.2.4, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Hi - thanks for the screen recording! Just to check, does this issue also occur in a Wayland session? I'm checking as I can't reproduce the issue on my Fedora KDE 42 device.

Comment 3 Alexander Potashev 2025-04-24 00:24:17 UTC

Yes, same problem in Plasma Wayland.

I think there's a gap between panel and menu, and the menu hides because mouse pointer spend some time in the gap (i.e. outside of menu), similarly to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503143.

Comment 4 John Kizer 2025-04-24 03:49:16 UTC

Thanks - this might be totally unrelated, but just in case - what Window activation policy setting is active on your device, under System Settings > Window Management > Window Behavior > Focus?

Comment 5 Alexander Potashev 2025-04-24 21:07:01 UTC

On the Focus tab, "Click to focus" is selected.

Comment 6 John Kizer 2025-04-25 00:55:04 UTC

Ah, well thanks for checking!

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2025-04-25 13:33:33 UTC

Do you have animations globally disabled? If so, this was supposed to be fixed in Plasma 6.3.3; see Bug 500717. In that case, I'm not sure what the issue is since the change to fix that issue is still working for me in git master.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2025-04-25 13:35:22 UTC

Ohhhhh it's because that wasn't backported! Ok, will fix this.

> Do you have animations globally disabled?

Not sure if it's possible to disable, but kcm_workspace has Animation speed set to the maximum so that it's not noticeable to my eye.

Thanks for backporting!
