SUMMARY In Workspace > General Behavior section I have options to pick between single-click or double-click for opening items in file browser. When I select the single-click option i see the following text added to ~/.config/kdeglobals [KDE] SingleClick=true But when I select the double-click option, the SingleClick line gets removed from kdeglobals - instead of having a line saying SingleClick=false This causes some older apps built with KDE5 framework to assume single-click behavior is enabled, and any file pickers in those apps exhibit single-click behavior, even when double-click is enabled in systemsettings GUI. Some examples of apps that suffer from this behavior are Okteta and k3b - both of which are still using KDE5 framework STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings and navigate to Workspace > General Behavior 2. Select "Clicking Files or folders: "Selects them" 3. Open ~/.config/kdeglobals 4. Look for "SingleClick=false" 5. Open an app that uses KDE5 like Okteta or k3b and try to open a file - expect single click to select items and double-click to open them OBSERVED RESULT In step 4 - SingleClick config does not appear in the kdeglobals file In step 5 - single-click opens items EXPECTED RESULT In step 4 - SingleClick=false line should appear in the kdeglobals file In step 5 - single-click should select items and double-click should open them WORKAROUND Manually edit ~/.config/kdeglobals file and add [KDE] SingleClick=false This fixes the behavior in apps that use KDE5 framework SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.0.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
