Created attachment 188866 [details] Screen recording of the issue SUMMARY Using touch does not open an episode in kasts, but touchpad/mouse works fine STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Navigate to the Episodes tab to play an episode 2. Touch the desired episode when using a touch-supported display OBSERVED RESULT The episode is selected EXPECTED RESULT The episode should be opened in its new tab SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE Linux 2026-01-25 KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.18.6-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.0 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics APP VERSION Kasts: 25.12.1 KDE Flatpak runtime (Wayland) KDE Frameworks: 6.22.0 Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1 Flatpak Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 Kernel: linux 6.18.6-zen1-1-zen ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please refer to the video to fully understand what I mean
Enabling/disabling touch should be a setting in plasma, I think. It's been a while since I looked into it. In general, enabling touch controls is done at the toolkit level, so that qt6 in this case. There's not much the app itself can do to override toolkit-level settings. There might be environment variables that you can use to override the defaults when launching the app from the command line. But, IIRC, there should be a toggle somewhere in KDE plasma settings to enable touch control in a system-wide manner. PS: Unfortunately, I'm not really able to test this since I don't own a device with a touchscreen. Is this a laptop? And is it a native package or the flatpak version?

Is this a laptop? And is it a native package or > the flatpak version? Touch works flawlessly across Plasma and its various apps. In fact, even on Kasts I had no problems with touch except for this little issue, so I'm not sure if it is a toolkit problem, but I know very little about these things. I'm using a 2-in-1 laptop with KDE Linux, so I have installed the app through flatpak.
Thanks for the additional info. Sounds like it could be that flatpak containerization is not allowing that setting through. I'll try to see if I can reproduce it somehow.
