Description Grósz Dániel 2009-07-03 18:31:51 UTC

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

If I move an extender/collection by dragging and dropping its caption, when I drop it, it appears with an animation like when a new plasmoid appears and its top left corner appears under the mouse (and not the place on the caption I dragged).

This is probably more a wish than a bug report but this is so inconsistent with the typical drag'n'drop move behavior of windows and plasmoid handles that I would count it as a bug.

Technically this is because the extenders are no pure-widgets, so when you drag some extender to the desktop, it first needs to create a new "Internal Extender Container" (real)widget to contain the extender itself. May be the position could be improved a bit.

Comment 3 Alan Jenkins 2009-08-27 16:22:32 UTC

There's another inconsistency as well - when dragging by the caption, you can't move the extender to a panel.  You have to drag it by the "handle" if you want to move it to a panel.

Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-08-27 20:13:31 UTC

@Alan: that's true of all widgets, not just the extenders, and a completely separate issue from this one.

Comment 5 Henry Rust 2010-01-02 17:46:31 UTC

I can confirm this bug on KDE 4.3.4 with Qt 4.5.3. It's a really strange behavior. So I agree with Grósz Dániel that this should be count as a bug.

SVN commit 1137301 by mart:

event->button() is usually empty, do drags only with the left buttons (and find the down position with that too) instead
