By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2012-11-16 19:43:31 CST

The patches in commits d50125d0 and bbd076f4 from 2012-08-13 added a check box control for whether the underlined characters in the menu bar remain visible at all times or only when the meta key (usually Alt) is pressed.

I tested this option. There is no difference in appearance. The underlines are always visible.

Restarting apps or Trinity or creating a new profile have no effect.

The underlying $HOME/.qt/kstylerc config file is being updated when the check box state is toggled.

If I remember correctly it is up to the individual style whether or not this setting is respected.  This is obviously not optimal; fixing it would require modifying all styles that do not respect the user's setting.

Huh. Would be nice if the code contained such a comment. :) I could add a comment in the What's This help.

Other than testing eac style, exactly what do I look for in the code? I'm guessing that because the option never was previously supported in Qt3 that none of the styles support this feature. If correct then we probably should not provide the check box as that will only confuse people.

Comment 3 Darrell 2012-11-17 13:02:53 CST

As suspected, I see no evidence that any of the styles support this feature. I tested several styles, restarted Trinity, deleted the ksycoca files, and there was no change for any of them. The underline remained visible at all times.

Comment 4 Darrell 2012-11-23 15:51:10 CST

Update: seems there is some functionality, albeit still broken. When the option is enabled some dialogs no longer show the underline. For example, enable the option, open a text file in kate, and then open the Find dialog. The underlines no longer appear in the dialog but remain showing in the menu bar. With the Find dialog open, pressing the Alt key does not show the underlines in the dialog.
