Attachments:	screen capture showing 120 duplicates of phons SMS

Description Tony Blackwell 2020-06-10 02:31:50 CEST

Description of problem:  With Samsung S8 plus phone running kde-connect (its version 1.13 showing in android Settings -> apps) and kdeconnect version 1.3.4_2.mga7 on M7 x86_64, popup copies of SMS messages are presented on the PC screen.  Can reply to SMS from computer keyboard.  Useful.

What is a total pain is the quite random occurrence of various numbers of duplicates of those pop-up windows on Mageia screen.  Driving both me and my wife (on her own M7) to distraction.  Sometimes there are only 3 or 4 duplicates, but see attached screenshot of my wife's PC just now.  I individually click-closed 120 of these pop-ups, the last 15 or so were on top of each other in the lower right corner of screen after all the available real-estate had been taken.

This is not new; M6 did the same.  Haven't tested with M8alpha1 yet.

Help!
With thanks,
Tony

Thank you for reporting this; and the screenshot. Did you try the KDE forum?
> This is not new; M6 did the same
= ancient; better to complain sooner!
A quick Internet search on this did not show anything similar, plenty on kdeconnect-kde itself.

Assigning to the KDE team; CC'ing DavidG as the SRPM committer.

This is solved in Mageia 8 with

kdeconnect-kde-20.12.0-1.mga8

This can be tested.
Phone must be unpaired, then paired.

Agree this apppears to be solved - not present in M8 x86_64-rc
Marking as resolved for now.
