This happens for everything, no? It's not really a bug; if we closed the window then you could lose any unsaved changes.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > This happens for everything, no? Yes and no: I've checked again, for all widgets, which do have their own config dialog, the window stays visible. For all others, whose configs live e.g. in the SystemSettings, the SystemSettings window is hidden and can't be brought to front in edit mode. > It's not really a bug; if we closed the window then you could lose any > unsaved changes. No one talked about closing, just hiding like in the "peak to desktop" effect. I'm not sure if it's useful to have the window in the edit mode, because there you want to be distraction free. Secondly, the behavior is fully inconsistent: 1) As mentioned above Config Window Opened -> Edit mode does not work equally for all widgets 2) Edit mode -> Open Config _always_ exits the edit mode Therefore I'd like to re-open the issue. Feel free to lower the priority to "minor" or if you are still not with me to close it. ;)
Hmm, there's probably some technical difference here in that the widget config windows are opened from Plasmashell, whereas System Settings is a separate app. I suppose the widget config windows should probably also fly away like other windows do.
