Bug ID: 366299
Summary: System setting "Energy Saving" window is too large for
a standard laptop screen
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.7.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-de...@kde.org
Reporter: o...@geek.co.il
I'm using a rather standard laptop with a 1600x900 resolution (what was used to
be called HD+ and is higher than the resolution available on most laptops sold
up until about a year ago), and on that screen the "Energy Saving"
configuration window is so large that the OK/Cancel buttons are not visible
(they mostly out of the screen and the rest is hidden behind the bottom panel).
See screenshot
This wasn't an issue before 5.7 (or 5.6 - i haven't used 5.6 much). From
looking at the current setup, it looks like there's a lot of unnecessary empty
space around elements, and it looks to me as if reducing some of that can get
all the content to fit in 800px and a bit (to leave some room for a bottom
panel) without moving anything to other tabs/sub dialogs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click the battery icon in the notification tray and select "Configure
Power Saving..."
2. Change something
3. Try to click "OK"
Actual Results:
The "OK" button is not visible and cannot be clicked. Also the window cannot be
moved up by grabbing the window title bar or even by grabbing empty space (if
this is configured under "Application Style" -> "Widget Style and Behavior" ->
"Breeze" -> "Configure" -> "General" -> "Windows' drag mode:" -> "Drag from all
empty areas").
Expected Results:
The "OK" button should be visible and clickable.
There is a workaround by grabbing the window with the "Windows action modifier
key" (usually ALT), which does allow you to move the window so that the title
bar is higher than the top of the screen (which the Breeze "drag mode" doesn't
let you do) - but that "hack" is something you can't expect KDE newbies to be
aware of.
I'd set the severity to "minor", but because the workaround is so
undiscoverable, I think "normal" is in order.
