Bug ID: 434720
Summary: Touchpad applet can be shown under conditions where
its only possible purpose is to make your laptop
unusable
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Touchpad
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
The only thing this applet can do is disable and re-enable a touchpad. So when
the system has only a touchpad and no external mouse, the only thing it can do
is allow the user to disable the touchpad with no means to re-enable it, which
can make the computer unusable (see Bug 434718).
Accordingly, this applet should be an auto-load applet that is unloaded and
disabled by default, and only auto-loads when the system has both a touchpad
and a mouse connected. This is the only circumstance under which the applet can
possibly serve a useful, non-destructive function.
