Git commit 5a8a53ff328493ff14ca79d456fdb419ba1d6e7d by Marco Martin. Committed on 29/01/2024 at 10:11. Pushed by mart into branch 'master'. Less confusing messages for the panel configuration right now the context menu entry of the panel is "enter edit mode" or "exit edit mode" when global edit mode is on. However, that action does *not* exit edit mode, but it actually opens the panel config views when is not visible (for instance a secondary panel) when the config view is visible in theory that action is supposed to go out of edit mode, howeverthere isn't really a way to trigger the action when the panel edit window is open at the moment Changing to Show Panel Configuration makes the ui much less confusing as it actually does what the label says now M +20 -0 shell/panelview.cpp M +1 -0 shell/panelview.h https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/5a8a53ff328493ff14ca79d456fdb419ba1d6e7d
The problem was actually a wrong messaging from the action, because is not "supposed" to exit edit mode. In Plasma 6.1 the messaging will be "Open Panel Configuration" "Close Panel Configuration"
