SUMMARY This problem only occurs in System Monitor Plasmoid 2.8 (Debian 13.1). Version 2.7 (Debian 12.12) works fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install the System Monitor Plasmoid (by Barry Strong) 2. Hover the mouse on the different bars 3. Observe different results as described below OBSERVED RESULT Proper behavior (2.7/Debian 12.12): When hovering the mouse over the bars I have configured (CPU, RAM and Swap) a little window pops up with the following: (for the RAM bar, the other bars have the correct displays for CPU and Swap): System Monitor - Memory Total Memory: 15.52 GiB Application Memory: 8.15 GiB Buffer Memory: 0.10 GiB Cache Memory: 6.85 GiB Free Memory: 0.41 GiB The problem (2.8/Debian 13.1): When hovering the mouse over the bars, no matter which one, I only get: System Monitor Plasmoid Shows System Monitor Information BUT! if I move the mouse very slowly at the very edge of the bars, I get a very quick glimpse of the correct display as shown above, but it disappears almost instantly. It's like the mouse hover triggers the correct display only at the very edge of the bars, possibly just 1 pixel. Everywhere else I see the generic message. EXPECTED RESULT That 2.8 would behave the same as 2.7 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS The standard versions as distributed in Debian 12 and Debian 13. $ kinfo Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770S CPU @ 3.10GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable)
Thank you for the bug report! Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 6.3.6 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point. Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream. Thanks for understanding! Thanks again!
