--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Technically this is correct as is, because clicking on thje "Accessibility"
list item takes you to a single page, not a group of pages.
However on a practical level, I can appreciate that the result sure *looks*
like a group of pages, because it has a sidebar that you use to select pages.
However technically speaking the sidebar selector that gives you this
impression is implemented entirely within the base Accessibility page, and does
not use the System Settings' app's own grouping mechanism. This is because we
explicitly don't want to use it; we want this page to be exposed to the user as
one page, with the view switcher being an internal implementation detail. We
don't want it to be exposed as like 7 pages.
I see three options here:
1. Say it's intentional and close the bug on these technical grounds
2. Say it's intentional but admit that the lack of an arrow is a bit odd, and
work on a way to let this and similar pages manually opt into showing an arrow
3. Re-think grouping on the page, and split this KCM into like 8, and use the
standard grouping mechanism.

Disadvantage of #1 is that it's unsatisfying and will feel rude to the bug
reporter and anyone else who brings this up.
Disadvantage of #2 is that it will require more technical work to re-implement
something we already have for pages using the standard system.
Disadvantage of #3 is that we'll lose the ability to show a single base
"Accessibility" page we can easily direct people to.
