Description Michael D 2024-04-11 14:54:32 UTC
When searching for something the message "Still looking" that is accompanied by a cogwheel are not vertically centered like all other messages such as  those pertaining to loading and not finding a package. All messages should occur in the same spot, namely, centered.

Discover "Still looking" message isn't centered

I think I'm experiencing this with Discover 6.3.4, Qt 6.9 - apologies if I'm misreading the bug title, just let me know if what is in the screenshot is a separate issue.

us does anything.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2025-05-08 14:51:28 UTC
I can't reproduce it on git master. Tested like John did, but searching for "haruna". The "Still looking message is *horizontally* centered, but in this specific case, it's not vertically centered; it's shown right below the existing item that was found. This is intentional; vertically centering is only possible without running the risk of overlapping content when the view is empty. When the view has any items in it, we can only horizontally center it.
Comment 8 Patrick Silva 2025-05-08 18:34:41 UTC
I can reproduce on Plasma 6.2.5 even searching for "haruna". The "version fixed in" search should be edited then.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2025-05-08 18:38:11 UTC
Can you attach a screenshot of what you see on Plasma 6.3.5?

Comment 11 Nate Graham 2025-05-08 18:45:15 UTC
How strange. I wonder if you need Frameworks 6.14 as well, which included some potentially relevant changes to Kirigami.ScrollablePage. Would be good to know if it gets fixed once you have that. It's scheduled to be released tomorrow.
Comment 12 Patrick Silva 2025-05-11 23:13:14 UTC
frameworks 6.14.0 has fixed the bug on my system.
Comment 13 Nate Graham 2025-05-12 13:42:39 UTC
Great, I had a feeling it might.
