Bug ID: 486748
Summary: Double click behavior not applied to
~/.config/kdeglobals
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_workspace
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nikola...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In Workspace > General Behavior section I have options to pick between
single-click or double-click for opening items in file browser.
When I select the single-click option i see the following text added to
~/.config/kdeglobals
[KDE]
SingleClick=true
But when I select the double-click option, the SingleClick line gets removed
from kdeglobals - instead of having a line saying SingleClick=false
This causes some older apps built with KDE5 framework to assume single-click
behavior is enabled, and any file pickers in those apps exhibit single-click
behavior, even when double-click is enabled in systemsettings GUI.
Some examples of apps that suffer from this behavior are Okteta and k3b - both
of which are still using KDE5 framework
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings and navigate to Workspace > General Behavior
2. Select "Clicking Files or folders: "Selects them"
3. Open ~/.config/kdeglobals
4. Look for "SingleClick=false"
5. Open an app that uses KDE5 like Okteta or k3b and try to open a file -
expect single click to select items and double-click to open them
OBSERVED RESULT
In step 4 - SingleClick config does not appear in the kdeglobals file
In step 5 - single-click opens items
EXPECTED RESULT
In step 4 - SingleClick=false line should appear in the kdeglobals file
In step 5 - single-click should select items and double-click should open them
WORKAROUND
Manually edit ~/.config/kdeglobals file and add
[KDE]
SingleClick=false
This fixes the behavior in apps that use KDE5 framework
