Bug ID: 361861
Summary: default kickoff height should show all categories
without scrolling
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: bugzi...@kerridis.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Kickoff doesn't show all categories by default, only 9 are visible, at least 2
are always out of sight. Using kickoff would be a lot easier if it would be
high enough (on displays big enough or maybe optionally) to show all categories
at one glance without scolling.
Apart from not being able to see all categories at one glance the menu is kind
of jumping (which obviously is intended behaviour but really confuses me every
time): when I open the menu, move the mouse to the "Applications" tab and from
there into the field with the categories the content instantly jumps up
(without that I touch the mouse wheel), highly irritating. I try to avoid that
by moving the mouse outside of the menu around the menu to get to the top of
the menu.
Therefore I beg you to let the menu adjust its height to the number of active
categories (optionally or dependend from screen height) to show all categories
at one glance and to stop that highly confusing "jumping". It does not annoy as
much inside a category because the list of applications is either short (no
scrolling) or long enough, so it is a smoother experience, but this
"flickering" in the category area itself is hard to stand.
As there are always at least two kinds of users ( in this case presumably: must
see everything at one glance + large elements vs. hide as much as possible +
small elements) I'd love to have a configuration option.
Reproducible: Always
Expected Results:
All categories in the applications tab should be visible by default (menu
should be high enough if screen height allows it)
