Description Alexandre Pereira 2020-12-05 17:45:04 UTC
SUMMARY
So i am using opensuse git packages ( up to date daily master branch ).

I have a horizontal panel at top. If i press the "plus" sign for making the panel size bigger, it actually gets reduced. The inverse also happens, the "minus" sign makes the panel bigger.

Caused by the fix I made for Bug 429063.

Darn, this is in the stable branch, so it's a regression. :(
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-12-11 21:16:03 UTC
David, I'm feeling stumped regarding how to fix this without either regressing the original fix for Bug 429063, or adding new API to the PlasmaCompoents3 SpinBox. Do you think you could help me come up with something?
Comment 3 David Edmundson 2020-12-14 00:06:03 UTC
Was PC3's drag handler added purely for this panel use case? It seems weird for anything else, and it's adding functionality into the style.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-12-14 02:53:16 UTC
It was added specifically for this feature, but the intent was do implement it in the component itself because the drag-to-change-the-value behavior was deemed generally desirable. We'd like to put this in the Breeze desktop spinbox too.

Styles are for styling. New features are best served with a decorator pattern or subclasses. We don't have this situation then.
Comment 7 David Edmundson 2020-12-22 16:37:29 UTC
In terms of moving forward and options within the current code.

Option 1:
Go with your original patch in frameworks. This must remain an exception and not a rule.

Guard usage on the client side with

` 
Component.onCompleted: if (self.hasOwnProperty("reverseDragAndScrollDirections")) {
self.reverseDragAndScrollDirections = true;
}
`
so it's backportable and won't break when we move to generic styles.
and drop the stepSize change

Option 2:
Same but in reverse. Have the style query `control.hasOwnProperty("reverseDragAndScrollDirections") && control.reverseDragAndScrollDirections`

Then declare that as a new property in the panel's spinbox.
It'd be closer to how Breeze does additional things from widget controls

Option3:
Spinbox.down.indicator is public API, we can re-implement the relevant FrameSVG code, but swap the +/-
and keep the current negative stepsize

Option4:
override contentItem inside the panel
and keep the current negative stepsize
