Description James Ots 2008-01-16 10:00:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I press Ctrl-Esc to get the System Activity window up, and then click on a column in the view to try to sort it, it very rarely works.

This is because it is very difficult to hold a graphics tablet totally still - it usually moves a pixel or two during a click. Which means it gets interpreted as a drag instead.

setStartDragDistance needs to be called on the application to set a sensible default first - it looks like Windows defaults to 3 or 4, which works fine. I imagine this needs to be a system wide default, rather than a per-app thing though.

I don't know what to file this against, but it's not a ksysguard
specific thing then.  Can you find out what sets this globally, and
file the bug against that instead please
