Bug ID: 462070
Summary: New firewall rule dialog is poorly formatted and too
limiting
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.24.6
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

The screenshot shows the New Firewall Rule dialog.
SUMMARY
In System Settings -> Firewall tab, the dialog that opens by pressing the Add
Rule... button is not very usable. The two fields for source and destination
addresses are too narrow and are not able to display a full IPv4 address, let
alone IPv6. They also don't allow to enter a network mask. The port fields are
also too narrow to fit port numbers beyond two digits and do not allow entering
service names (e.g. ssh, http).
See the attached screenshot.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Firewall tab. Enable the firewall, if not enabled
already.
2. Press Add Rule... button in the lower right.
3. Try entering a network mask 192.168.10.0/24 in the Source field.
4. Try entering a service name in the Destination port field, e.g. http.
OBSERVED RESULT
The address doesn't fit in the field. Pressing / does nothing, the field does
not allow this character. The port fields do not accept non-numeric characters.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Source and Destination fields should be properly sized, at least to be able
to show a full IPv4 address such as 255.255.255.255/32. The port fields next to
addresses should also be wider to be able to fit all port numbers (i.e 65535).
The address fields should allow to enter an address mask in the address/width
notation.
The port fields should allow service names.
