Description Ondřej Hruška 2014-04-18 15:45:08 UTC

When dragging large picture, the mouse cursor gets trapped, and upon releasing, it appears where the drag started. This is highly annoying when you're used from [all other programs] that when you move mouse, it actually moves. Also, it should not disappear in my opinion.

It didn't do this before, must be some new change. And it's not very pleasant a feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Drag a large zoomed in picture, release the button, move back, press button again, drag further and so on.
Actual Results:  
The mouse cursor will soon leave the window (the "move back" part actually moves the mouse from where it started in opposite direction).

Expected Results:  
Mouse staying where it was dragged. Cursor clamped to screen (wrapping left-right, top-bottom).

Look at Okular, they do it right: When dragging, mouse is clamped to the screen and when leaves down, it re-appears up. This way, it not only doesn't annoy users, but also makes them see where the cursor currently is while preserving the "infinite drag" behavior you want.

Could you please check version 4.13.0? It is possible that this issue has been reverted with the commit for bug 329086.

If you know of some PPA for Ubuntu 12.04, I can try. I tried to add kubuntu-backports and kubuntu-beta, but it wasn't there. Otherwise I'll have to wait for some stable release of 14.04 where it might be available.

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2014-04-20 09:49:28 UTC

Erm, 14.04 is already released. As for KDE 4.13.0 PPAs for the older 12.04, please ask in a Kubuntu forum.

Is this still reproducible with KF5 versions of Gwenview?

It appears fixed, we can close this ticket.

Thanks! Since it's your bug, you can close it yourself, too.
