Description garwol 2016-01-29 17:26:08 UTC

Icons placement after dragging on desktop is often unpredictable. Its hard to place icon in desired location, it usually "snaps" to a grid next to it, if its not dropped exactly in the middle of a grid. Icons dragged out of view are placed in random positions, icons dropped under the panel cause extension of view and appearing of scrollbar at the edge of desktop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag icon over the desktop
2. drop out of view or under panel
3. icon is placed in wrong position

Pushed by hein into branch 'Plasma/5.5'.

Use the item midpoint when calculating grid drop coords.

Not sure how this got lost.
