Version: 0.7 (KDE4) (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux It's very difficult for me to use the knetworkmanager popup (the little menu that appears when I click on the applet in the taskbar, with the list of configured networks, "connect to another network", "activate wireless" and "handle connection") because it tends to disappears before I can get the mouse pointer on it. From my understanding, a combination of three things causes this bug: 1) After clicking on the icon, the menu disappears as soon as a window gains focus 2) The Focus follow mouse option 3) There's a two pixel gap between the pop up and the taskbar. Number 1 is IMHO not desirable. So (assuming there's a window in that part of the screen, e.g. a maximised window) if the mouse touches this two pixel gap, the pop up closes before the mouse enters it. I got used to moving the mouse very fast from the applet to the menu to avoid this problem but then I tend to move the pointer too far, to the point it exits the pop up, it closes and I have to start over. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0) Activate focus follows mouse 1) Have a maximised window 2) Click on the knetworkmanager applet (the menu pops up) 3) Move the mouse pointer slowly towards the menu. Actual Results: Just after the pointer leaves the taskbar and before it enters the menu, the menu closes. Expected Results: The menu should remain open until I close it, or until I select an option (see the kmix applet for comparison). (An acceptable intermediate solution would be to require a window to be selected for a second or half a second before the menu disappears, giving plenty of time to cross those two pixels)
Why is this still unconfirmed? This bug is so annoying, always reproducible and should be so easy to fix (just remove the two pixel gap). Bug still existing in KNetworkManager: v0.9 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2)
Monolithic knetworkmanager is unmaintained, which means nobody is fixing bugs in it. Please use the plasmoid version instead. Also, there have been several bugs fixed in the last two months in the plasmoid version.
