Description lurkingaround 2022-11-24 02:23:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
Touch mode doesn't stay enabled after power cycle.
You are forced to disable and enable every time you boot the device.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable "Touch Mode"
2. Right click to test "Touch Mode" is enabled and context menu is larger
3. Reboot device and login
4. "Touch Mode" is disabled
5. Enable "Touch Mode"
6. If you didn't open the context menu after login then disable "Touch Mode" and re-enable it or it won't apply to context menu

OBSERVED RESULT
Touch Mode is disabled after power cycle and doesn't affect context menus unless you right click after login to view it first.

EXPECTED RESULT
Touch Mode stays enabled after enabling it in Workspace Behavior.

Cannot reproduce; when I force Touch Mode to "Always enabled" and reboot, it remains on after the reboot. This was on Wayland. Are you on X11? If so, can you try on Wayland?

Tested my device, Aya Neo Air Pro, on both Wayland and X11 and both has this issue.
Touch mode keeps getting disabled and I have to manually enable it.

Interesting.
Comment 4 lurkingaround 2022-12-09 09:15:29 UTC 
Couldn't find a way to edit my issue report to add more information, 5.25.X didn't have this bug, it started with 5.26.X.
System settings briefly maintains Touch Mode but once it closed and re-opened, it reverts back to Touch Mode disabled, less space around each menu items.

Fix getting tablet mode on application startup

The old method gets tablet mode state from a wrong interface. The
correct interface should be `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties`.

Test: enable tablet mode, and restart plasmashell
