Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2022-12-19 07:29:45 UTC
SUMMARY
In the new (QtQuick-based?) drkonqi, the interface for selecting possibly related bug reports is confusing. Namely, you have to click and plus that then becomes a minus and vice versa to select, but it is unclear whether that plus or minus represents the state (selected=plus, unselected=minus) or the action that will be taken when clicked (select=plus, deselect=minus) which implies a state (unselected=plus, selected=minus). The help text that is shown when hovering does not help or is counterintuitive.

My suggestion would be to use common and recognized UI features to indicate selection, such as a selection box for each candidate.

Thank you for the bug report!

Please note that Plasma 5.25.5 is not supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer.

If at all possible please upgrade to a supported version and verify that the bug is still happening there.

If you're unsure how to do this, contact your distributor about it.

duplicates detection: drop support

with the advance of automatic crash reporting the duplicates detection
isn't really necessary anymore.

it also hasn't been all that great. the UI was terrible, the UX was
terrible, the code was expansive, parsing random comments from bugzilla
had potential of crashing drkonqi ...
