Bug ID: 481187 Summary: When typing in the Pointer Speed numerical field (the -1 to 1 float field), it changes the number as you're typing making manual entry difficult Classification: Applications Product: systemsettings Version: 5.93.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: kcm_mouse Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: briguy...@live.com CC: natalie_clar...@yahoo.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 165735 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=165735&action=edit Demonstration of field behavior editing numerical numbers SUMMARY (I would assume this is a QT 6 bug, however I don't have the technical understanding to confirm so filing this where I encountered the issue) When editing the Pointer Speed field, and typing in numbers, it changes the number as you're typing, making it difficult to type in a specific number you want. The two scenarios are as soon as you end up with a -0 in the field, it will reset the field immediately back to 0, even if your intent was to change to a different negative floating point 0 number. The second scenario is when adding back a floating point number, the first number you add it will immediately append a zero to, making it difficult to put in the two levels of sensitivity expected in this field. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. Select Mouse & Touchpad 3. Select Mouse and choose your mouse device 4. In the Pointer speed text bad, click into the box 5. Delete the last 2 digits (for example, if the number is -0.40, select it and delete the 0 and then the 4) 6. Observe the negative sign is immediately removed from the number, meaning you can't simply type a new number to choose a different negative number if that was your intent. 7. Now, select it and try to change the sensitivity to -0.23 8. Notice when you type in the 2, it immediately appends a zero to become -0.20, so you need to delete the zero to then add the 3 to be become -0.23 OBSERVED RESULT The number in the field is consistently evaluated and overridden by a different value even when the user is actively typing in the field EXPECTED RESULT When I am actively typing in a field, the number should not be changed by the system which interrupts my ability to type the number I want.
