I could understand your point of view, maybe as developer. As an affected user by mentioned issues and considering one of them is causing lost of data, the relativity of his importance doesn't exist. Yes, I know someone is fixing the FUSE mounts problem, but I put it here as an example of a "long term" unresolved critical bug that is despairing me and others for years. I even tried to blame my distro and take the time to try with another distros using KDE or even Gnome, to finally discover that it's more a Gnome-KDE-FUSE inconpatibility. Many users lost their time in KDE bugs forum asking for a fix ... so I thought this place will be a good place to draw attention to these situations.

That subject is perfect for the KIO-fuse access to remote files, but for Plasma panels between monitor bug is just a "productivity" problem. Something that worked fine, were broken in Plasma.

In the two cases I related, it's easy to know what to prioritize. Any issue that make user to lost information, and what it's worst, without the user knowledge, is an high priority problem. Is the case of the bug 75324. User can compare two PHP files content with, for example, MELT. One file is on an FTP service and another one in a SMB folder. User can make changes on both and save them, thinking the changes are saved .... but his changes are lost, cause Plasma silently copied the remote files to "/tmp" folder and the changes are only stored there. Any time user is using non-KDE applications, is in risk of loosing data thinking that each time he saves files in remote folders (FTP, FISH, SMB ...) the things are going well, but not.

Not exactly duplicate, but better expressed for sure. He talks about LDAP and password expiry support that I forgot to mention here, but it's another "should be resolved years ago" issue, cause it's another headache for corporation users. But he doesn't mention about recover the ability to place autohidden panel among two monitors functionality as it was working previously to Plasma, cause it's a productivity enhance for users working with multiple monitors. He doesn't mention Active Directory authentication neither.
I forgot to mention other business productivity KDE applications that are really underrated, as "Knotes", that is very useful in LAN environments and compatible with the outdated ATnotes (Windows). I suggested in kde forum some improvement for KNotes ... but no one says nothing at respect .... that's why lastly I'm pessimist about KDE. Sometimes I even don't have any response despite I take time to write about bugs or improvements, and begin to ask me if I should better give up and forgot headaches returning to other "popular" operating system

Thank you for the link. That seems that it finally solve a really big problem for users like me, that bet for KDE in business environments. I'm looking forward for good news after summer!!
Yes, Meven, I know the news about the issue, cause I'm subscribed to that forum and reported several times the big problems related with this bug to work everyday with remote files (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75324#c86). But I don't understand the neccesity to work on 32bit support when most of distros are dropping 32 bits versions ... how it will fix the problem? Is this the correct way? Maybe I'm lost, but I understand the priority is not 32bit compatibility, but solve the issue and then look for compatibility tasks.
