Konqueror bugs

[Richard Troy]

Thank you, Paul, for responding.

Note the IMAGE you sent was most useful and I'm VERY grateful the link? 
Not so much...

I STRONGLY suggest it NOT be the default.

However, the articulation here is incorrect:

> https://discuss.kde.org/t/6-1-plasma-mouse-sticking-a-bit-more-to-screen-edges/17437

That's the very first place I looked!  BUT...

It's NOT on, "Mouse & Touchpad > Screen Edges," but as your image shows 
Display & Monitor -> Screen Edges -> Edge barrier.

Note also that I instinctively went to the mouse settings where the linked 
article suggests and therefore I propose this "feature" be controllable 
from either (that is, in both locations) so other people don't experience 
the profound frustration I went through: I wasn't anxious to give up on 
KDE but damn if this wasn't a SUPER good reason to put it in my rear-view 
mirror. It's a fair bet I wasn't - am not - alone.

If you think this was "a mild annoyance", you seriously misread my 
postings - I guess I was far too polite! If I said it like it was, you'd 
be upset with me for my use of foul language. It's a "throw this piece of 
garbage out" type of "mild."

I never said it wasn't useful to someone only that I didn't see the 
use-case. I still can't imagine that need is held by a majority. And as a 
new feature thrown in by an "upgrade" its presence was not only unwelcome 
it was downright anger-generating because it's so incredibly time-wasting. 
Since you knew it was there, not an issue for you.

I GETTING TO KNOW YOU, a little, Paul. Your continual and usually patient 
calls to users to get involved is heard. It's not that I don't care at 
all, its that I'm already over-committed in other areas, and in the field 
of Open Source Software, I've already got four iron's in the fire. NOTE 
that my ask was for WHERE to discuss this because it wasn't (and remains 
not) clear to me just what part of KDE to which this pertains - Mouse? 
Screens? Compositor? IDK.

Unlike the developers of KDE, many of us use KDE only as a tool and aren't 
devoted to everything KDE, have super-busy lives and don't want to have to 
spend a lot of time _after_ being forced into unwanted update to pick up 
on all sorts of obscure setting we don't know we need to care about just 
to get on with things.

Please take my comments in the manner intended; suggestions for 
improvement with other similar changes in the future. If you're going to 
introduce potentially time-wasting settings, either call it out with 
unavoidable visual noise to be sure we all got it or, _much_better_ ensure 
it's OFF as the default state. Those who need "accessability options" can 
go look and find them - it's not the feature, it's that it's a substantial 
change that blindsides with no visibility where a user might intuitively 
go look.

Thanks again, Paul, I was lookinkg to ditch KDE over this issue.
