Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement
Version: 0.1~svn1133205-1
Severity: normal
G'day. This is an upstream bug, which I am happy to take there if that is
more appropriate — if you would be kind enough to point me to the upstream
BTS; I looked, but failed to find it.
My system has a comparatively high DPI display:
daniel@krosp:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 resolution
dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (332x210 millimeters)
resolution: 147x145 dots per inch
I still use appropriately scaled fonts on it, which is nice, but sometimes
leads to issues with GUI applications that assume a lower DPI display and
consequently have some issues.
This is common enough in the Plasma world, where fonts end up overflowing the
space allocated in the widget; in plasma-widget-networkmanagement this
actually results in some reasonable usability issues.
The biggest is that when you click on a network interface it jumps to the
display of the traffic graph and details; if this is done on the "eth0"
interface, the button to return to the main display is pushed under the
right-hand side panel and can't be triggered.
That makes it impossible to return to the main display if I click through
there and all.
The widget has a bunch of similar display scale issues, though: it has too
little vertical space for the checkboxes on the main display, too little
horizontal space for the network interface list, and too little space for the
"Show More" and "Manage Connections" buttons in general.
Finally, most of the indicators — the icons next to the listed entries in
"Connections", and the "Disconnect" button especially — are so small as to be
almost invisible on this system. It would be great if they scaled based on
the platform DPI to ensure usability.
Regards,
Daniel

The reported widget was replaced with plasma-nm, so this is a friendly ping to
ask the submitter or anyone with a high DPI display to please test plasma-nm
and report us if the usability problems are fixed now.
With the increasing popularity of retina and 4k monitors I think
this kind of issues are going to pop up everywhere, the efforts in KDE to fix this kind of issues can be followed in:
https://community.kde.org/KDE/High-dpi_issues
Which lists a pending reviewboard for plasma NM.
Also, a particular bug related this issue was fixed in:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327759
It's being a long time since this bug had any activity, I'm closing the issue
with the Debian version that contains the fix for KDE#327759. Please, if you can
still reproduce the issue reopen the bug.
Happy hacking,
