Bug ID: 408845
Summary: Clicking on separator closes context menu
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: guimarcalsi...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click in any KDE software to open a context menu
2. Click on a separator
OBSERVED RESULT
Context menu gets closed
EXPECTED RESULT
It should stay open
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think this behavior should be changed because:
1. This is inconsistent: Context menus on GTK apps like Firefox don't show the
same behavior.
2. A user can accidentally click on a separator instead of clicking on the
desired option. Since the context menu closes, it can make the user think he
clicked on the right place when he actually didn't.
Example: The option "Cut" and the separator are next to each other.
A user may try to click on the "Cut" option on Dolphin to move a file > He
accidentally clicks on the separator and don't notice > When going to another
folder to paste the file he notices the paste option is not showing up.
This can create a lot of usability problems, especially for users in a hurry,
with poor mouse skills, a bad vision or users using trackpads.
Thanks.
