SUMMARY So normally a note widget have a pointer showing where you type, if the widget is placed on desktop it works perfectly fine, but I have one in my panel and if I open the note. In the note on my panel, pointer is invisible if its at the beginning of a line, that also means it's invisible on empty lines STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Put a note widget in a panel 2. Open the note 3. See that there's no pointer 4. Type a Space or a character 5. Move the pointer to the beginning of the line OBSERVED RESULT Pointer disappears if there is no character before it EXPECTED RESULT Pointer should always be visible SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My note in the panel is black, but changing color doesn't solve the issue
Does the insertion point appear when you type something? If so, this is Bug 489593.
Yes. But the bug is not "it's invisible before anything is typed" though I thought so as well at first, but after testing it a bit more, it always becomes invisible at the beginning of a line, even if it has text. So for example | <- pointer |Text <- in this case it will also be invisible
Ah, I can reproduce that.
I'm not able to reproduce this anymore with current git master; looks like it got fixed somewhere.
Should I expect it to be fixed in Plasma 6.3.3?
You should expect it to be fixed in Plasma 6.4.0. It *might* have been fixed in an earlier release as well.
Gud, I'll wait and hopefully won't be able to reproduce the bug there.
I can still reproduce it on Plasma 6.4.0
Hmm, it's still working for me :/
I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master or Fedora 42 with Plasma 6.4.0
Weird. I'll try checking on a clean user/install
Thanks!
Okay, I don't know how that works, but my old note widget is still missing the pointer, yet new note widgets have it. Hopefully the issue doesn't come back, and if it does, I'll try to find why. Thanks for your time.
