Created attachment 185222 [details] An attempt at tapping on various widgets to edit them to no avail SUMMARY The context menus/popups that appear when hovering (with the mouse cursor) on the widgets in edit mode require hovering the widgets, which is not possible with touch input, making configuring or removing widgets not possible STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Touch and hold the desktop to enter edit mode 2. Tap a panel to configure it 3. Tap on widgets OBSERVED RESULT 1. The context menu flashes in and out of view, not allowing the user to interact with it EXPECTED RESULT The context menu opens, allowing the user to modify or remove the widget, then closes if tapping outside of it or on any other widget (before the next one opens). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have attached a recording to show how it currently functions
I confirm this on git-master with a Flex 2-in-1 using the touch screen 1. Touch and hold the desktop to enter edit mode 2. Tap a panel to configure it 3. Tap on the system tray widgets Observed: It is not possible to access the configure / remove menu
in general seems that tapping or clocking on an applet in a panel just goes out from the panel edit mode, which i think is the actual issue at the source of this bug
