Bug ID: 477299
Summary: Support multiline actions in StatusNotifierItems
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.9
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bizy...@zoho.com
CC: mate...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently, system tray menus with two-line action labels are displayed
incorrectly (see the attached minimal program and a screenshot of it). However,
I couldn't find anywhere in the spec that actions must not contain newlines.
On X11, this is somewhat alleviated by apps drawing their own menus for tray
icons, and GTK has no issues with multiline menu items. On Wayland, however,
all the tray menus have to be displayed through SNI and rendered by Plasma.
Currently, Plasma uses a simple QMenu for that, and QMenus don't support
multiline actions natively (or maybe it's up to the widget style to support
them, and Breeze doesn't).
Since there are programs out there that rely on multiline action labels in
their system tray menus, and the spec seems to be permissive in this regard, I
think Plasma should ensure that such menus are displayed correctly, even if it
requires using a custom component. If that is impossible, Plasma should at
least replace newlines with spaces to avoid the obvious rendering defect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Run the attached script (PyQt5).
OBSERVED RESULT
See the attached screenshot.
EXPECTED RESULT
Multiline action names in system tray menus exposed via SNI are displayed
correctly.
