Bug ID: 438057
Summary: New kickoff has less useful "Favorites"
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: esp...@gmail.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The new kickoff launcher adds favorites to their own top level menu. The
problem with this is that if you open kicker at the bottom left of screen, then
the natural mouse pointer movement from here to a favorite will pass over other
menu entries first. This selects whatever menu item was in the path and removes
the favorites from view. The favorites are now the hardest icons to reach,
because one has to be extremely careful to not move the mouse pointer over
another menu item, may of which are in the most direct mouse path.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kicker.
2. Move mouse pointer towards a favorite icon.
OBSERVED RESULT
The most direct path often crosses another top-level menu, removing the very
favorites you're trying to reach from view, while bringing its icons into focus
EXPECTED RESULT
Don't know what the right solution is, but this behavior could do with a
rethink.
