Bug ID: 403232
Summary: Global Menu Widget invisible, but enabled by default
-- breaks menus w/o information
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.14.3
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Global Menu
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: kde-b...@ginguppin.de
CC: mvourla...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Added a new panel ("Default" IIRC) and after that, menu bars were gone in all
plasma apps.
It took a long time to figure out what went wrong -- in the end it was the
Global Menu Widget that broke things!
In that new panel the Global Menu Widget was enabled by default -- but was
invisible!! Only after I knew what to look for I noticed the small space at the
left end -- there's no icon, no marker, nothing. This thing breaks menus
without the slightest indication and there's no way to figure that out. What's
the idea behind that??
a) I fail to understand how _any_ widget can exist on a panel without a visual
indication as to its existence
b) I fail to understand how a thing with such a huge impact on a user's
workflow and productivity can be introduced silently with a seemingly unrelated
addition of just a panel!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add new panel
2. search in vain for your menu bars
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
menu bars gone without any chance to find them
EXPECTED RESULT
menu bars shouldn not be affected by just adding a panel
