clicking on a repository in repository manager changes state of 'enabled' button
Last modified: 2009-01-09 16:01:44 UTC
Merely clicking (selecting) a repository in the repository manager (QT) changes the 'enabled' state of the entry. It shouldn't do that.
I need to double click a repository in the repository manager (QT) in 11.1 for changing the 'enabled' state of the entry. Can you please check this again?
I have just checked again. Same results as before. If I click on any part of of an entry the 'Enabled' checkbox inverts its value.
I have been able to reproduce the problem. It seems to be related to Oxygen style. When, as root, GUI style in qtconfig is set as Oxygen and in kde4 system settings for mouse, 'single click to open files' setting is selected, merely clicking a repository in the repository manager (Qt) changes the 'enabled' state of the entry. This behavior stops for me if I change the kde4 mouse setting to 'double click to open files' or if I select a different GUI style like 'plastique' in qtconfig. I am using kde3, so I did not experience this before. Does the above workaround work for you?
I haven't tested it but was about to suggest that it might be the theme/style. One thing to consider here is that I have always used single click to enable (which has been (or was) the default in KDE for a long, long time and thus lots of users will be configured in a similar way). I would have to log out and then log in again as root to change those preferences, no (and, I'd have to do it in KDE4???)
Yes, I am sure lots of users will be facing this problem, as this is the default. I myself prefer the double click setting. I am not a developer though so I guess we will have to wait till someone comes by and fixes this. You do not need to logout and login as root to change these settings. Use su/sudo. 'sudo qtconfig' or 'sudo systemsettings'. You should not need the full KDE4 desktop to be installed. You need only the keyboard and mouse module to be present in the kde4 system settings. If you like the single click setting and want to keep it, you can just change the style in qtconfig to something other than oxygen, while keeping the single click setting in kde4 system settings.
On second thoughts, you may need to logout and login as root to do these changes if su/sudo don't work.
