confirmed. Will investigate.
Comment 2 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2011-04-29 20:39:46 UTC 
ok. After double checking, I remember this issue. This is because the drag (sending mouse move events recieved by Qt to X11 to actually move the window) somehow messes-up Qt's internal event loop, concerning mouse click and mouse release (I think its because Qt gets the mouse click that triggers the drag, but never gets the mouse release, which is eaten by X11). This notably disable a second grab.

We have a hack to "reset the mess". basically, quickly/programatically moving the pointer outside of the window and back in. Now, this re-arm is triggered by mouse move (which Qt still handles well despite the mess). Hence the bug you report. 

I'll see if I can find a different way to trigger this re-arm the correct behavior, but to be honest I have little hope.

(the method that does all the dirtyness above is in kde-workspace/kstyles/oxygen/oxygenwindowmanager.cxx - WindowManager::AppEventFilter::appMouseEvent).

do not eat mouse-move + button press events caught by the window manager at end of grab.

ok. At least here, it fixes it (please double check), and was easier than I thought. Now I'm afraid of possible regressions.
Will use the patch for a couple of days an backport to 4.6 if nothing shows up.

Will keep the bug open in the meanwhile.

Thanks for reporting !

Since I could not detect any regression, I backported the fix to 4.6 branch.
closing.
