[phone-connect][BUG] Secondary device is out of view

[JohWQ]

Submission checklist

• I have searched existing issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate.
• I am using the latest available version of Noctalia and of the plugin.
• This is a bug in a community plugin, not in Noctalia itself (those belong in the noctalia repo).

Plugin

phone-connect

Plugin version

v0.1.1

Bug description

When having multiple devices in KDEConnect paired, only 1 device is displayed inside of the UI, the other device(s) are out of view.

A unwanted solution (workaround) to this visual bug is to disable the clipboard button in the plugin settings.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use CachyOS with niri (Noctalia 5.0.0_beta.7-1)
2. Have KDEConnect installed and paired with your devices
3. Install the plugin within Noctalia

Expected behavior

To be able to see both devices instead of just one.

Actual behavior

.

Thanks for the report — I've tracked down the cause and fixed it in the source repo.

Root cause: the right-hand action column in the details panel stacks all action buttons (up to 7 when the clipboard action is enabled) directly in a ui.column with no scroll wrapper. Flex items don't shrink below their content height by default, so the tall button stack forces the middle row past the panel's 600px height and pushes the device switcher at the bottom off the viewport. That's why only the first device is visible, and why disabling the clipboard button (your workaround) brings the second one back into view.

Fix: wrapped the action button stack in a ui.scroll (matching the left column, which already did this), so the column fills the available height and scrolls internally instead of overflowing. The switcher now stays in view regardless of button count or device count.

Fixed in CSY2569/phone-connect@29b39c4 — will ship in the next release published to this repo.
