Description Simon 2010-08-05 10:16:30 UTC 
Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

If these conditions are fulfilled: 
* Scrollbar is visible
* Scrolled to the very bottom of the album view
* At least one directory is expanded and visible in the currently visible section
and you try to move an image into the expanded directory, then most likely you will drop the images anywhere but at the desired location.

Why? When dragging them over the directory, it will collapse. This moves the directory #(subdirectories) entries down. So the pics will land #(subdirectories) above the intended directory.

Perhaps there is a better solution. It would be nice if it were possible to control WHEN directories are collapsed/expanded when dragging. Mouse wheel?

Reproducible: Always

I see the problem, but this functionality is completely provided by Qt. There is no way to influence that, short of disabling all autoscrolling and autoexpanding.
