Bug ID: 454245
Summary: Pop-ups stealing clicks
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: me...@gmx.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
It is incredibly annoying when you click on something and a pop-up appears out
of nowhere in precisely the wrong place stealing the mouse click. Particularly
frustrating when you know you just OKed something but you don't know what
because the pop-up disappeared immediately. It doesn't happen often but when it
does it can be very dangerous too. It is surprising it can still happen in
every environment I am aware of, but I think KDE could be the first DE to do
the sensible thing: A clickable element shouldn't be clickable until it is
reasonably possible for a human being to have clicked on it on purpose. Clicks
that are faster than this are either stolen clicks or robo-clicks. One idea is
to grey-out the buttons for a fraction of a second before they become really
clickable. If this takes a fraction of a second, in the vast majority of cases
that a pop-up appears the user won't even know this delay was injected. In the
spirit of KDE this could be made optional.
