TCC displayconfig module: Reset button does not deactivate widgets #164

Basic information

TDE version: R14.0.9
Distribution: Debian Buster
Hardware: amd64

Steps to reproduce

Go to TCC -> Monitor & Display module
Check "Enable local display control for this session". Notice how the disabled widgets on all tabs activate.
Click "Reset".
Notice how widgets on first and fourth tab (Power Management) remain active, even though clicking Reset unchecked the "Enable local display control for this session" checkbox.

Hi Janek,

I don't have an “Enable local display control for this session” here. I have an “Enable global display control” and this seems to reset correctly.

Perhaps you can attach a screenshot of the area in question?

"Enable local display control for this session" shows when the module is run as a normal user, "Enable global display control" shows when it's run with root privileges.

Oh I see. let me try as a normal user 😄

Notice also that when you launch TCC as a normal user, go to Monitor & Display, click Administrator Mode, and input the root password, then instead of "Apply" and "Reset" buttons you have "OK", "Apply" and "Cancel" and it is not possible to reproduce the bug since that requires clicking "Reset", which is now gone. However, if you launch kcontrol as root then you have the "Enable global display control" checkbox and it is still possible to reproduce the bug in the same way as for normal user.

Oh now I get it. When the status of the checkbox is reset, it does not enable or disable the other controls accordingly. Is that what you were trying to report, Janek?

Yes.
