removing it makes sense to me as that code is weird, here's my research on its history: looking at why it was inserted: commit https://phabricator.kde.org/rPLASMADESKTOP0cf01e3d2a5b8a2e23dad50cfdefffdc093c6bee "This patch fixes this warning and also some rendering issues in the panel's settings dialog, where the buttons would have different sizes when laid out vertically." also in part commit https://phabricator.kde.org/rPLASMADESKTOPfa8270162d99a9807e2c93c1c52c821a9dd22ad4 "don't auto resize when the panel controller is open" for https://phabricator.kde.org/rPLASMADESKTOPfa8270162d99a9807e2c93c1c52c821a9dd22ad4, this blind emitting of signals doesn't apply anymore, so the patch shoud good to go in REPOSITORY rPLASMADESKTOP Plasma Desktop REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D2672 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: davidedmundson, #plasma Cc: mart, plasma-devel, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas
