           Summary: Night Light Widget In System Tray Breaks Night Color
                    if Middle Clicked To Toggle Night Light Off
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 6.0.2
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Night Color
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: kdeb...@schells.com
  Target Milestone: 1.0

By default the night light widget in the system tray is configured to only show
when relevant.  It appears when the night light turns on (adjusting screen
color for night).  If you middle click the widget to toggle the night light the
widget disappears (apparently no longer considered relevant) and once it
disappears the night light will not function even if toggled back on by any
other means.  

This is all I've found that can restore the night light functionality.

killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell

Other things that fail:
Go into system tray expansion and middle click the icon.
Place Color and Brightness widget somewhere else (Desktop, Panel, etc.)  and
middle click it.
Assign a global K-win short cut to toggle the night light and use the short
cut.

None of those methods will restart the night light color shift once the widget
has auto-hidden after the first click to toggle the night light off.

If the system tray setting is changed to show always the middle click toggle
works normally.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Enable Night Light with system tray widget set to show only when relevant
2.  Middle click the widget in the system tray to toggle night light off.
3.  Use any method to attempt to toggle night light back on.

OBSERVED RESULT
Night light does not come back on, at least not the change in screen color.  
You can move the night light toggle in the expanded widget view but it doesn't
do anything.

EXPECTED RESULT
Night Light turns back on and screen changes color.
