Bug ID: 506765
Summary: 10 second timeout to confirm pen calibration is too
short
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.2
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
After calibrating the drawing tablet, touching all 4 points, one is asked to
touch all 4 points again to verify the calibration. This step only allows 10
seconds to complete the verification before the process is aborted and one has
to start all over again. This is not enough time to accurately complete the
verification step before it is prematurely aborted.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Begin pen calibration
2. touch all 4 points
3. begin re-touching all 4 points to verify
4. see process aborted because it took longer than 10 seconds to complete the
verification
OBSERVED RESULT
Verification step of the calibration process was terminated unnecessarily
early, while the verification was proceeding normally.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either: a) reset the 10-second countdown after each point is touched (thereby
giving about 40 seconds to complete the whole process), or b) give a much
longer countdown (say 60 seconds), or c) don't use a countdown at all!
The initial part of the calibration process has no countdown or time limit. Why
should the verification step require one to be super speedy and likely make the
verification fail due to trying to be so fast as to make inaccurate inputs?
There's always the cancel button if one needs to abort the process manually.
If this process is challenging for me to complete in 10 seconds, I can't
imagine how impossible it would be for someone with an accessibility issue.
