Can't disable popup preview of folders on desktop

[farukdgn]

I disabled "Folder preview popup windows" in Right click on desktop > Desktop Settings > Icons (on the left). So, that little icon on the top left of folder icons is not shown anymore, but when I click there popup window still opens like shown in the picture:



Is this intended or a bug?

I have been using kubuntu with this option disabled ever since I installed it (since 16.10). There have been many reboots.

Will try to test later. Is that Plasma 5.9.5 or Plasma 5.9.4?

Do you have the backports PPA for zesty enabled?

Plasma 5.9.4.
There's this entry in sources.list: deb zesty-backports main restricted universe multiverse, so I think it's enabled.

No, our backports ppa is a separate source from the official ubuntu backports deb line for the archive.

Please see: http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-bugfix-releases-frameworks-selected-app-updates-now-available-in-backports-ppa-for-zesty-and-xenial/

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

and packages then update with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

No, I haven't added this ppa (using official ubuntu repo only). Does this issue not exist in 5.9.5?

Well, I could not replicate it with plasma 5.9.5 in our development release (17.10 Artful).

That does not necessarily mean the same applies in Zesty if you upgrade to 5.9.5, as there are other differences in package versions (plasma-frameworks etc).

However, looking to diagnose this, upgrading to the latest bugfix version of plasma 5.9.5 in zesty seems the logical next step. If that does not solve the issue, we then know to look somewhere else.
