Description Dotan Cohen 2009-05-23 20:28:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When attempting to drag the Battery Monitor plasmoid from the desktop to a panel (on the right side of the screen) the plasmoid was dropped _below_ the panel. This effectively makes the plasmoid orphaned, as the average user does not know that it still exists, just below the plasmoid. Please change plasma so that these situations do not arise. Thanks!

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
