Bug ID: 492975
Summary: Faces can leave system monitor panel applets invisible
and inaccessible
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Monitor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
With at least one type of face, selecting it will leave a panel applet
invisible and inaccessible. It is still running and present on the panel, but
has no width/height in both regular and Panel Configuration mode, cannot be
right-clicked, does not show a popup in Panel Config mode, etc. The only way to
make the applet usable again seems to be manually editing the
plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file, changing the face to a different
one, then kill/restart plasmashell.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a system monitor widget (e.g. Total CPU Use) to a panel. Orientation and
width do not seem to matter, I've reproduced this on horizontal and vertical
panels, 20 and 128 pixels size.
2. Right-click, configure
3. Select "Color Grid", apply, close dialog
OBSERVED RESULT
No more panel applet visible, and no graphical way to change this back
EXPECTED RESULT
Visible system monitor face; if nothing can be displayed at least some
interactable space should be used (in Panel Configuration mode at minimum) so
the user can interact with this.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.80, compiled a day ago. Also reproduced with 6.1.4 on
Tuxedo OS
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 (same), also reproduced with 6.5.0 on Tuxedo OS
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Obviously, the affected faces should be fixed to display something, but given
that faces can be installed through kns, the applet should probably handle this
more gracefully, as third-party faces may also be broken.
