Thanks for the bug report. Since there is more than one weather widget, can you let us know the exact name of the one you're having trouble with?

Comment 2 Kwanza.Pili 2025-12-13 18:49:13 UTC

Sorry, I made a few adjustments to my system and I then I finally got to try it again. The results remain the exactly same. The missing details I can add are:
- QT6 is now version 6.10.1
- kwin is v6.5.2-
- Name: Weather Report (Forecast and current conditions)
- Author:  Luis Gabriel Lima

I am can see any specific information on the version of the widget itself.

I meant to say "I cannot see any specific information on the version of the widget itself".

Comment 4 TraceyC 2025-12-22 21:48:35 UTC

Thanks for the details. I'm not able to reproduce this with the weather widget on git-master. What text are you entering into the search?

Comment 5 Kwanza.Pili 2025-12-24 17:43:24 UTC

I made some further adjustments to my installations so that I now have:
- Plasma - 6.5.4
- KDE Apps - 25.12.0
- QT 6.10.1

It still does not matter what I type into the search field for location. It will never display any results, but the wheel will spin endlessly. 
It is clearly not doing anything useful - probably stuck in loop somewhere within the code.

I found another weather widget, KWeather_1x4, which allows me to select a custom location (albeit with reduced location precision). 
This one seems to work as expected. So I have removed the original widget that was failing. I am not sure if it is worth fixing it?
