Description Martin Koller 2012-06-11 08:00:17 UTC

When I start a drag operation the icons shown during the drag are misplaced by about 20pixels downwards.

While this might be called a feature, it _feels_ wrong as I'm used to see things I drag very close to or directly beneath the cursor hotspot.
Compare this to the folder view widget's behaviour.
At the very least it is inconsistent with other applications and irritating.


Reproducible: Always

This originally has been done on purpose, because when doing it like in the folder-view, it is not possible to drag an item to e.g. the places-panel as the target is hidden by the overlay.

The best solution from my point of view would be that we could do it like in the folder-view but that the overlay is halve-transparent. Sadyl currently this is not possible with the Qt-drag-and-drop-mechanism...

Probably I might decrease the the gap so that it is just a few pixels below the hotspot for 4.9 and might come up with a custom solution later (-> halve-transparent overlay).

It would be consistent with the other D&D (e.g. dragging  a URL from konqueror, a window from the taskbar to a different virtual desktop, a mail attachment from kmail, etc.) when you place the icon to the right/bottom of the cursor hotspot. This would also leave the cursor itself alone not overlapping with the icons.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

Comment 5 Martin Koller 2013-07-19 09:12:32 UTC

Checking 4.11 RC1 it is still inconsistent to the folder view widget but it is better than when I reported the problem.
Closing.
