Description Ignat Semenov 2009-01-09 19:43:49 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If you drag an applet that have more than one form-factor (e.g. Kate or Device Notifier) from the panel to the desktop, and then (without releasing it) drag it back into the panel, all applets inside the panel increase their size to become as large as the applet being dragged while it was on the desktop. This doesn't happen to applets like KMenu or Digital Clock or "Spaces" (Virtual Desktops) applet as they have the same size on the desktop and inside the panel. Three screenshots illustrate this bug.

SVN commit 908500 by aseigo:

insta-drop onto the desktop; not perfect, but prevents other even worse effects. in 4.3 we really need to centralize the inter-view drag code and make it possible to enter one mode then the other between views.
