Bug ID: 500594
Summary: Opening klipper with Meta-V has confusing highlighting
and using 'right'-arrow followed by up/down arrow
does not move the highlight but scrolls the list
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard widget & pop-up
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
Open klipper with Meta-V
Next, the search-field is highlighted (allowing us to search for entries) and
the cursor blinks in the search box
But, at the same time, the first entry is also highlighted, giving you the
impression that this element has focus.
In this misleading situation, i press right-arrow to access the icons for this
'highlighted' clipboard-entry (to hopefully get to action/qr/edit/remove icons
in this highlighted row)
I'm never reaching the icons, instead, the focus switches to the clear-history
icon (because the real highlight was in search-box) giving this clear-icon blue
edges while retaining the highlight on the first list-item.
I'm still wrongly assuming i work on the highlighted list-item, so if i now
press up/down arrow the whole list of clipboard entries is 'paged-down' for
some amount of lines (similar to operating the scroll-bar)
This is more than confusing, especially since the systray-klipper behaves
differently:
Here, i can never get from the search-box to the clear-history item, instead, i
stay in the search-box.
Moreover, if search has focus, none of the list-items are highlighted.
Pressing right-arrow has no effect
Pressing down-arrow moves the highlight from search-box to the first
list-entry.
Now right-arrow selects the list-items own icons, as expected.
There is never a 'scroll-mode' that can be accidentally operated by up/down
arrow
I would suggest to
- fix the highlighting of the popup when opened with Meta-V similar to
systray-operation (so we don't have more than one element in focus)
- to restrict right-arrow acting on list-elements only (to get to the entries
own icons (action/qr/edit/remove)
