Created attachment 109318 [details] demonstration Summary says by itself, I think this behavior annoying. Watch my screencast recorded on Arch Linux, plasma 5.11.4.
Video file is corrupt, and the behavior you appear to be describing is not a bug, though I definitely still think this should be changed. Recommend changing priority to wishlist.
I think this issue is an usability problem at least. I can play the video using chromium and Opera browsers. Firefox says the file is corrupted.
I can't open the video in any app on macOS. In the future, please attach videos in the webm format.

Thanks Ivan. Yeah, that's bit of a strange user experience and I agree that we should change/fix it.
Can reproduce in: Plasma: 5.12.2 Apps: 17.12.2 Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.14.22-1-MANJARO OS: Netrunner Rolling
In fact all tabs are affected by this annoying usability problem.

Created attachment 134960 [details] new kickoff Unfortunately this annoying behavior persists with new kickoff. Watch the attached screen recording please. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Created attachment 134968 [details] clipboard applet has the same behavior Possibly this issue should be re-assigned to another product. Clipboard applet is also affected if we set clipboard history to a value greater than 7 in its settings.
Yes, this is a generic issue in the Plasma ListItem. Moving.

Wow, tons of duplicates. I guess people really don't like this behavior.
Even a basic QtQuickControls 2 ScrollView still has this behavior. Still have not found what exactly is triggering it, whether that is something deep in Qt or a thing we are overlaying on top of it in Plasma-land. Because QQC2 apps that have ListView inside ScrollView do not seem to suffer from this issue.

Dupes piling up; raising to VHI as this causes various small annoying usability issues all over the place in Plasma.

Still > have not found what exactly is triggering it, whether that is something deep > in Qt or a thing we are overlaying on top of it in Plasma-land. It's in QML ListView. It scrolls the view to move the current item into view. The docs say: "If highlightFollowsCurrentItem is true, setting either of these properties will smoothly scroll the ListView so that the current item becomes visible." However, it seems like the scrolling happens even if highlightFollowsCurrentItem is false. I've tried messing around with custom highlight size and positioning, but haven't got a solution that way. > QQC2 apps that have ListView inside ScrollView do not seem to suffer from this issue. Because QQC2 list delegates generally don't set currentIndex on hover. Plasma's *ListItem components do. We could probably make it so that hovering doesn't change currentIndex but only highlights, but that would make it so that there can be two highlighted items visible, with one of them being the actual current item and the other only a hover. But the idea is worth discussing, maybe we can have the hovered-but-not-current highlight be more subtle/subdued etc.

For the record, I'm not a fan either. At the very least it should come with an animated scrolling.

I did some investigation of my own today and largely came to the same conclusion that Bharadwaj did. I think unfortunately we have to call this one an upstream issue--if not intentional--unless we want to get rid of the "currentItem follows hover" approach. But then there would be two selection highlight effects (one for the thing that's actually selected, and another for the thing that's hovered) and it would get very confusing very quickly. I think we would be trading one issue for another. So as long as we use this behavior of setting the selected item to be the hovered one, we're stuck with this behavior until and unless QtQuick ListView gains an option to not scroll an only-partially-visible selected item fully into view. I submitted a Qt bug report about it: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-114574 If and when Qt adds the functionality we need, we'll use it and re-open this bug report to track rolling it out.

This is now fixed for the clipboard widget with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2294, and for all other system Tray widgets with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/641. Thanks for getting it done, Bharadwaj!
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #37) > This is now fixed for the clipboard widget with > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2294 It still scrolls automatically when I hover over the *first item* when it is only partially visible. But I guess a upstream fix would be far better than patching all the individual cases.
I can also reproduce when hovering over the first item of Clipboard applet. It's still reproducible even when hovering over the last search result in Kickoff. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.91.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.247.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Can still reproduce in Kickoff, but not in Clipboard. At this point we'll need new bug reports--one per individual widget affected. There is unfortunately not a way for us to fix it universally so each affected widget needs its own fix.
...And I see Kickoff already has a bug report: Bug 426015.
