            Bug ID: 418204
           Summary: Menu entries to lock the toolbar and panel positions
                    have an inconsistent user interface
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 18.12.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY

The context menu entries to lock the toolbar and panels have an inconsistent
user interface. 

The toolbar context menu entry to lock the toolbar position uses fixed text
('Lock Toolbar Positions') and a padlock icon that is always displayed in the
locked state. The lock state of the toolbar is shown using a checkbox adjacent
to the menu option.

In contrast, the context menu entry to lock the panels does not use a checkbox
and instead changes the text and icon of the menu entry itself to reflect the
locked state of the panels.

I am aware this is a pedantic nitpick and not a functionality issue, but
interface consistency would make Dolphin look more polished.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 

Use the toolbar context menu to lock and unlock the toolbar. Note the behavior
of the 'Lock Toolbar Positions' menu entry.

2. 

Use the panel context menu to lock and unlock the panel. Note the behavior of
the 'Lock Panels' / 'Unlock Panels' menu entry.

3. 

Note the differences in behaviors between the two components.

OBSERVED RESULT

The context menu entries to lock the toolbar and panels have an inconsistent
user interface. 

EXPECTED RESULT

The locking commands should have consistent behavior matching the most common
practice among other KDE applications.
