Description Elias Probst 2011-10-24 15:19:28 UTC
Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

The presence applet has a confusing behaviour when setting the presence text.

Clicking on the text makes it editable - so far - so good.
But now it shows the icon "edit-delete" at the end of the input line which suggests, that clicking it, deletes the current set text.
Instead, this icon does what the icon 'edit-undo' does (used for returning from setting the presence status).
Furthermore the presence text cannot be set by only using the mouse - it requires to press "return" to set it.

I'd suggest to make the following changes:
→ Remove the icon 'document-edit' right of the presence text as this simply duplicates the functionality of clicking on the text itself
→ When presence text is editable, show two icons on the right: edit-undo (to cancel this action) and go-jump-locationbar or document-save (to confirm the text).

Reproducible: Always

Fix is not needed anymore, as the presence-applet was completely rewritten.
