Bug ID: 523111
Summary: "SingleClick" is unset instead of set to "false",
which Qt apps assume is "true"
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.7.2
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_workspace
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
The "Clicking files or folders" option selects whether it takes one or two
clicks to open stuff in file managers. It uses the "SingleClick" key in the KDE
config. The default of this setting is "double-click to open", which is what i
want.
But unsandboxed programs such as VLC seem to ignore this particular setting,
assuming "single-click to open".
Upon investigation with kreadconfig6, it seems that the setting either sets the
value to "true" when single-click is desired, and otherwise apparently *unsets
the key*. If one explicitely uses kwriteconfig6 to write "false" into the
"SingleClick" key, VLC will comply and exhibit "double-click to open" behavior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go in General Behavior and click "Selects them"
2. Open VLC, toggle the playlist view, drag some random media into it and then
try clicking on any of them. The behavior should be "single click to open" at
this point
3. Close VLC
4. Now go in your terminal and run `kwriteconfig6 --group KDE --key SingleClick
false`
5. Re-open VLC, and try the playlist view click behavior again. "Double-click
to open" will happen
OBSERVED RESULT
The behavior is "single click to open" in some Qt apps when it is disabled
EXPECTED RESULT
The click behavior setting should be respected
