Ranting on new behaviour

There are some changed behaviour that really annoys me, how to change them back.

Login Screen, at least to key strokes needed before you can type a password. Before you could straight type now there is always a waiting time before you can type and I constantly need to reenter the password.

LibreOffice PDF Export, before it you create a document it would save the PDF alongside the open document file, now it is redirected to Download and I constantly need to place it to the file location.

KDE Plasma 6.3.4 The application starter stays open after clicking on the target application. So annoying. I did not find a button to switch this back.

Can me push someone to solve these isssues? Thanks

None of this described behaviours occur here.
So the usual questions:

  • is the system properly upgraded via zypper dup?
  • did you test with a fresh user profile?

Use File > Export as PDF and it defaults to the same location as the file. No this is not new behavior.

Checked again, instaed of a file from a USB stick now from

LibreOffice 25.2.2.2

/home/user/Documents/subdirectory//

when I either click the symbol next to the save symbol for direct export to PDF or STRFG-E or via FILE- direct export to PDF, it defaults for every file I am opening to

/home/user/Dokumente

And I does not change to last opened directory, this is slowing me down.
(Was not Download but the Dokumente directory."

On 3 different systems now.

Like @hui I don’t see this here. Follow his advice.

As far as the LibreOffice PDF export goes, what you are describing is a bug that should be corrected in LibreOffice 25.2.3 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165917) PDF exports to most recent directory, not to current directory.

Regarding the login screen typing delay. Are you using multiple screens?

yes multi, but also when I don’t connect an external screen.

Just ran

sudo env ZYPP_PCK_PRELOAD=1 zypper dup

was hoping for something in the upgrade, but not yet :frowning:
Thanks for letting me know, that is an already fixed bug

It should be only a question of time before LibreOffice releases the fixed version and it is packaged for Tumbleweed.

I have found some complaints about that behaviour from 2016. Personally, I haven’t seen it on my setup, so I’m trying to make some sense out of it. You are referring to SDDM, right?

One other thing: could you show a screen shot of your last rant? What application starter stays open?

Screenshot or screengrab?

You have the pin button active on the menu and it’s keeping the menu open. Unselect it to go back to the normal behaviour.

oh, ouch :speak_no_evil:
