Bug ID: 489536
Summary: Window placement setting not noticed by "Highlight
Changed Settings" option
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: redb...@redbearnet.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you open the hamburger menu in System Settings and select "Highlight
Changed Settings", it marks all sections of the settings with non-default
settings with a yellow dot, and the individual settings that have been changed
are also highlighted when opening each control panel.
In "Apps & Windows", "Window Management", "Window Behavior", "Advanced" tab, I
changed the setting for "Window placement" from the default "Centered" to
"Random".
This settings modification was not registered by the "Highlight Changed
Settings" option, which shows dots on many other settings modules. The setting
itself is not highlighted when the panel is open, and the panel header in the
sidebar does not get a yellow dot.
Restarting the System Settings app made no difference.
Minor issue, but it seems that whatever mechanism keeps track of settings that
get changed from defaults is not catching that setting being changed. Seems
other settings in that "Advanced" tab are also not registering.
In fact it may be the whole "Window behavior" module that is immune to being
seen by "Highlight Changed Settings". I tried some things in the other tabs,
they also did not produce the yellow dot next to the module name.
