Thanks Simon for the explanation. I really thought Kdeconnect is a Plasma application an part of Plasma. The name of the product was the cause I think. I respect your great work with this great app. I don't use Neon as my daily driver either, as the KDE team states it's not quite a distro . They needed a stable base (Ubuntu LTS) for the latest KDE software to be built on. The first minor versions of a new release is always full of bugs , but the last builds were OK and very fine for daily use. The current version 5.14 is expecting 3 more bugfix releases in the upcoming months and compared to Kubuntu I can use more up-to-date KDE Software. For example Debian Stretch has Plasma 5.8.9 ; Kubuntu 18.04 LTS has Plasma 5.12.6 LTS ; Kubuntu 18.10 has Plasma 5.13.5 and with backports enabled 5.14.2 , but the KDE Applications is still older (18.04) compared to NEON (18.08.2). The interesting thing is Arch / Manjaro is also on the latest of everything and this bug does not exist there. Nathan Graham stated the following in his blog regarding 5.14 : https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/10/14/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-40/ "We apologize for these bugs and we’re working to get them fixed quickly! One of the reasons why bugs like this squeak through is that we don’t have enough pre-release QA testers. You could be one of them, and next week, your name could be in this list! Just check out https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved, and find out how you can help be a part of something that really matters. You don’t have to already be a programmer. I wasn’t when I got started. Try it, you’ll like it! We don’t bite!" It would be really nice if one you could test Neon VM and get in contact with the Neon team what's going on ;) Many thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
