SUMMARY It is very hard to tap to open settings on a touchscreen. Tapping the profile picture in the menu works significantly less often than tapping a pinned icon in the taskbar. This does not occur with a touchpad, even when dragging. A while ago, I had to tap around 10 times for it to work. Today it only worked once after tapping a hundred times. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Tap the KDE icon on the taskbar to open Kickoff 2. Tap your profile photo 3. Count the number of times you have to repeat step 2 before settings open OBSERVED RESULT I have to tap too many times for it to work. EXPECTED RESULT It should work after just one tap. Alternatively, if I'm not supposed to be able to open it on a touchscreen, there shouldn't be the outline that suggests clickability.
