Bug ID: 404461
Summary: Double-clicking a desktop icon does not work properly
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.15.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: jsage...@verizon.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Changing plasma workspace global option click behavior to double-click to open
files and folders will prevent shortcuts on the desktop from starting when
double-clicked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Close all open applications
2. Open "System Settings" and click on "Desktop Behavior"
3. Change "Click Behavior" to "Double-click to open files and folders (single
click to select)"
4. Close the "System Settings" window. Make sure all applications are closed.
5. Click the kickoff button on left side of the taskbar to bring up the
"Application Launcher"
6. Add an application to the desktop by right-clicking it and selecting "Add to
Desktop"
7. Double-click the icon on the desktop to start the application. If it starts
up, close it and then try double-clicking the same icon on the desktop again.
OBSERVED RESULT
8. The application will not start.
You can have several icons on the desktop and none of them will start when you
double-click them. However, if you have an application open and then
double-click on a desktop icon, that application will start up. If you close
all applications and double-click the desktop icons, they will not open the
application.
EXPECTED RESULT
After doing steps 1 through 6, any time you double-click an icon on the desktop
it should open that application.
Setting the "Click Behavior" in step 3 back to "Single-click to open files and
folders" will allow launching applications from the desktop again with single
clicks. Single-click action works fine. Double-click action does not work
properly.
