Description Mark 2014-04-14 15:41:24 UTC
Lets say you have a dual screen (a and b) setup:
|----------||----------|
|     A     ||      B    |
|----------||----------|

Dragging any window from A to B works just as intended.
Dragging any window from A to the TOP* of B and release is where the animation behaves weird. It is then animating the window as follows upon release:
- the window instantly pops back to the initial position it had before dragging in screen A
- the window then animates towards the desired position on screen B

Note, i already had it dragged to B.

* i say "TOP" but i mean any of the snap positions. To be clear, by TOP i mean dragging your window to the utmost top to make it fill all the screen space on release. I don't know how it's called. I hope the kwin devs just know what i mean by this :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see above
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
It should not move the window back to a and animate to b. It should keep it on the dropped position and animate to - in this case - maximized state.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

This used to be a real bug, but apparently got fixed somewhere in the years since reporting this.
Closing as worksforme.
