Bug 152974 – KDE tray icons do not obey Fitts law frame

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Tiago Freire 2006-10-27 06:10:59 UTC]

As of KDE 3.5.5, every kicker applet has a fitts law frame. all except the tray icons. this frame is an invisible extension to the clickable area for usability purposes. to tet it, just scroll your mouse all the way to the bottom of the screen, on the last pixel. you will still be able to click on taskbar apps to minimize and maximize them, for example.
But there is one applet which does not behave like this, at least for me. And this is the system tray. The menus don't pop up, nothing happens. Looks like I am clicking on the applet border which does not do anything.
I have already posted a bug on KDE, but aseigo said he was unable to reproduce, so maybe it's realated to some patch or compilation option on Gentoo?
The KDE bug is:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129144
I'd appreciate a bit more of testing to find out why the tray doesn't have fitts law frames, and if it indeed does not have them, have more voices tell upstream.

Gentoo Bugzilla is not a petition application, the bug is upstream and you already filled it there.

If you get a patch to apply, then reopen this bug with the patch and we might consider it.

Problem is that UPSTREAM did not acknowledge my bug, they considered it UNCORMIRMED - unable to reproduce. Yet, I still cannot click on a fitt's law frame on the icon tray... So I have filed this bug just to kindly ask the Gentoo-KDE devs to verify that a Fitts Law frame indeed does NOT exist in the KDE icon tray... And if possible, please add a reply in my bug, because looks like they did not pay a lot of attention to my request. 
I am on KDE 3.5.5 and it still does not have a Fitts Law Frame in the tray icons.
