Description mikyt 2008-06-12 11:35:18 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

If you drag a folder on the desktop when widgets are locked, a menu with "Folder view" and "Icon" appears, but both the menu items don't work.
If widgets are unlocked they work as expected.
I think that, when widgets are locked, either the menu shouldn't appear or it should automatically unlock widgets for as long as needed to perform the required action (and I think this second option is more user friendly then the first).

I'll prefer the first idea: doesn't show the menu when is locked.

I know this has been fixed, but wouldn't it be more user friendly if a tip is shown (maybe from the upper right square plasma icon) telling that widgets are locked and the action couldn't be performed instead of just showing the forbidden cursor. This just happened to me and it was a bit confusing trying and failing several times until I realized what happened.
