Bug ID: 430438
Summary: In Icons-Only, a Click should Open a Preview NOT
Close it
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: lukebe...@hotmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When using previews to find a grouped window, a single click should trigger it
*immediately* and keep it open so a stray hover doesn't cause a different
grouped preview to open.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Clicked on grouped window
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Previews close
EXPECTED RESULT
1. The preview should immediately open and other hovers should be ignored
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In both Win 10 and Dash to dock, clicking on an icon causes open, and stay
open, so you can freely move the mouse around browsing for your window. In KDE,
clicking closes it, and if you stray off of the preview, it also closes.
Hovering is a horrible for usability, forcing users to wait. The long delay
makes this problem even worse. While waiting for the hover, you click only to
see it pop open and then close again. See Bug 429502.
I have to use Win 10 for work, so I have a muscle memory of clicking on a
grouped icon when I want to find something. In KDE this has the opposite
effect, by closing what I want to open.
