When middle-clicking on the wifi icon, airplane mode turns on. This, like on Android, is expected to dynamically disable wifi and WWAN. Middle clicking on the icon again, disables the Airplane mode, but Wifi stays off. Expected would be for it to turn back to the normal state. There may be some architectural change needed, so that Airplane mode is used as a separate state, with separate settings. When disabling it, the normal state is restored. Currently, you need to disable airplane mode and then enable wifi. Enabling wifi also doesnt turn off airplane mode automatically. Fedora 40 Kinoite
Can confirm on regular Fedora 40 with everything KDE compiled from source. Noticed it on a recent plane trip.
this only happens when middle-clicking the icon. Pressing Airplane switch in the popup menu works as expected.
Interestingly enough, I can't reproduce it today, via either way of turning airplane mode on and off. Seems something fixed it recently!
Same at my side. Nice!
As long as you don't power off your system, it remembers the state of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and any other wireless interfaces before they were disabled by the Airplane mode. But such state is not persistent and will be lost after a reboot.
I think that's a wholly different issue. Can you open a new bug report about it?
I don't get it what are we talking about, and what was fixed here?
We're talking about the original bug report, which is what middle-clicking the applet compactrepresentation to disable airplane mode doesn't turn wifi back on. I was able to reproduce that in the recent past, but not anymore, leading to the conclusion that it got fixed by something.
