Description Vivek 2009-09-10 20:20:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I use ~9-10 different power profiles to match my activities. Currently, with the Panel at the bottom of the screen, PowerDevil only shows eight (8) of the power profiles, cutting off the remainder under the panel (even with translucency effects on). This makes selecting certain profiles hard.

Suggestion: limit the size of the profile selection dropdown box and give it scrollbars. This should be an easy "papercut"-type bug to fix.

I'll try to add a screenshot.

That's stuff for the applet
Comment 3 F Bourbonnais 2010-02-19 03:45:36 UTC
Since I'm not able to select some profiles, for me it seems more like a bug than a wish.
Comment 4 Vivek 2010-02-19 15:54:29 UTC
Yes, I tried to change that to "bug" from "wishlist" to bug but couldn't figure out how.  The problem remains on KDE 4.3.x (last stable version on opensuse 11.2).  

By the way, I recently checked out KDE 4.4 RC2 (also opensuse), and this problem remains with the applet there.  In fact, it's worse since the applet was adjusted to be smaller.

I can confirm that the problem is present (and worst) in KDE 4.4.

I filed a duplicate bug against Plasma with the correct severity so that hopefully this gets some attention.
