SUMMARY *** Hello, in the Energy Saving page I can't write 3-digits numbers in the "When screen is locked, switch off after:" field. I can write 99 and go up with the arrows, but I can't write 100 *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Energy Saving page 2. Write 100 on "When screen is locked, switch off after:" field OBSERVED RESULT Can't write EXPECTED RESULT I should be able to write 100 or any other 3-digits number or I should not be able to go over 99 with the arrows SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.240.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-33-generic (64-bit)
That's right, it's limited to 2-digit numbers. May I ask why you feel the need to go beyond that?
I run into this "issue" because the lockscreen always broke in a previous version of Neon Unstable, asking for loginctl unlock-session, so I tried to change the energy settings values and run into that little bug. I think the user should (1) be able to enter a 3-digits number, or (2) should not be able to go over 2-digits number (99) with the arrows buttons Anyway it's not a big issue and probably affects only few users, so I totally understand if you prefer to focus on something else. It's a consistency issue more than a bug
So you're trying to use this setting to work around another bug? Do I have this right?
Yes :-)
Thanks for confirming. I'm afraid we don't support attempts to work around our own bugs. :) I'd recommend that you submit a bug report about the actual issue itself, rather than making a request for a workaround for the issue. If we're going to be making changes, we should just fix the underlying issue itself! Thanks for your understanding.
