Description Matthew Harker 2007-06-05 11:42:59 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

If you click on a link on facebook and then immediately move the mouse before the link begins to load, konqueror starts to drag the link, the mouse changes permanently to the no-go symbol and nothing is accessible until konqueror is killed.

This only happens when you click on a link to open in the same tab, new tab or new window works fine.

Comment 2 Matthew Harker 2007-06-05 16:38:58 UTC

I disagree with this bug being marked as a duplicate, bug 144720 deals with artifacts when purposely dragging. This bug details links being dragged when they should not be.

Comment 3 Dima Ryazanov 2007-06-06 00:52:14 UTC

I think so, too... I've run into this bug myself.

(Unless, of course, both bugs have the same cause.)

Comment 4 Dima Ryazanov 2007-06-10 22:16:14 UTC

Even better example:

Go to osnews.com, scroll all the way down, and click the "Add Mozilla Sidebar" image. It points to "javascript:addNetscapePanel();". When you click it, a confirmation dialog box appears - and Konqueror switches to link-dragging mode.

I find on my Fujitsu tablet that it's very difficult to tap links, icons, text... without it converting into highlight/drag mode.

This problem is rampant in Konqueror where I'll try to tap on a link and Konqueror will either highlight half the page or think I'm trying to drag the link someplace else.

It's also apparent in other programs like Dolphin and/or Kontact where trying to select a folder or an e-mail will move it some place else instead of selecting it.

sorry... I forgot to add: this is not from lazy tablet technique because this problem happens almost exclusively in KDE applications and I can use GTK applications (like Firefox, GNUCash, GIMP) without having to fight with my tablet.

Can you still reproduce with current KDE (>= 4.6.4) ?
