Description postix 2023-03-26 14:58:10 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Monitor
2. Go to History
3. Edit page
4. "Amount of History to keep": Replace "s seconds" with "m minutes"
5. Hit save
6. Edit page again

OBSERVED RESULT
"Amount of History to keep" says "m minutes" but is actually "m seconds".
A better, more reliable and intuitive input system for the "Amount of History to keep" to keep is needed. :)

I can reproduce on Plasma 6.3.5 - for what it's worth, the display in the "Show last" box reverts back to saying seconds after restarting System Monitor. Thanks!
