SUMMARY In Plasma 5, middle-clicking the night color applet simply toggles it on and off. However, now it toggles some strange states: - In the "normal" state (when you start Plasma), with left-clicks you can toggle night color on and off, as usual. - In the "weird" state, with left-clicks you can toggle "Not running" and "Off", both of which have night color disabled. (With "left-clicks", I mean opening the applet's window and clicking on the toggle there) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have night color set up 2. Middle-click the applet 3. Try changing the state with left-clicks OBSERVED RESULT Left clicks toggle between "Not running" and "Off", until you middle-click the applet again EXPECTED RESULT Middle-clicks should be the same as left-clicks, with the difference that you skip opening the applet's window. (Just like in Plasma 5) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: NixOS 24.05 KDE Plasma Version: 5.93.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.7.3-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Night Color applet was merged with the Brightness applet in Plasma 6, and middle-clicks are handled differently there, so the issue as originally described can't happen anymore. :)
