Bug ID: 460286
Summary: Tooltip only on left click
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.26
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jsar...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I want a way to show the tooltip mode only on left click, not on the tooltip
mode itself when my mouse happens to be on top of an app. For my workflow (do
not really like tooltips much) I find the emergence of the tooltip noisy, but I
find it useful for grouped windows of a same application, to select one of them
and prefer that to alternative options.
Also, if tooltip mode is active and it is used on left click, frequently the
two interfere and by the time the click happens it frequently makes the tooltip
disappear when the intended behavior is quite the opposite.
I would fix this by disabling the tooltip in configuration. However, if I
disable the tooltip, I cannot activate the tooltip mode on left click, and
frankly, in my opinion that doesn't make much sense, as these two should be
independent.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Config tooltip "on" and activate the tooltip on "left click"
2. Frequently, the left click makes the tooltip disappear instead of appear,
and this is dependent to the timing of tooltip appearance, which is hard to
control in terms of usability
3. It is impossible to disable tooltip while keeping the activation of the
tooltip mode on "left click"
EXPECTED RESULT
Points 2 and 3 above would be "fixed" if the activation of the tooltip mode on
"left click" would be allowed independently of whether tooltip itself is
enabled or not.
