The latest release of KDE Frameworks, version 6.15, enhances accessibility features within the Plasma desktop environment. This update particularly focuses on improving the experience for users of right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, ensuring better functionality in search bars and password fields across KDE applications.
This version introduces significant improvements to keyboard navigation throughout the System Settings application and enhances compatibility for screen readers used with Kirigami-based applications. Furthermore, it overhauls the handling of thumbnail generation for files located in remote network locations, helping to alleviate previous issues with large thumbnails.
The update also addresses various bugs affecting overall performance and usability, including a freeze in the Plasma desktop when accessing the "Advanced Options" dialogue and a problematic display of icons in the Breeze theme, which affected some GTK applications. Moreover, fixes are put in place to resolve excessive disk I/O when previewing folder thumbnails and improve the visual rendering of icons in themes, especially within dark color schemes.
The KDE Frameworks team has worked to resolve a series of other glitches, such as width issues with system tray icons and crashes in the KWin window manager, especially during alterations in screen arrangement while specific effects are active.
