*** Bug 361984 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Please add a task manager setting to disable the drag and drop operation. This is the most annoying feature of Plasma. Thank you very much. I use a laptop with touch screen, sometimes I inadvertently drag an entry from task manager to my browser and a .desktop file is "downloaded". Would be nice if an way to prevent this situation is available. I've done this a few times. It's annoying. I've sent people a .desktop File in both Skype and Telegram because of this, since both of those don't require confirmation to send it. Would be amazing to have this behavior changed. I found one workaround which works for me, namely completely disabling drag & drop of tasks. Run $ SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/Task.qml and at onPositionChanged function insert a "return" in the first line. Voila! Problem solved. Fixed in https://phabricator.kde.org/D13274! (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > Fixed in https://phabricator.kde.org/D13274! just updated to 5.14 (which is awesome by the way) and this still happens to me. proof: https://streamable.com/fdlmz Notice the little red minus icon when it's dragged? If you drop it onto the app, it won't go. This isn't how I would have implemented the fix, but it was the best we could do for now since it was controversial. If it isn't enough, we can re-visit it for 5.15. This is something that bothers me, still I understand that this ticket was fixed, in a way: it tells about "drag and drop", and "drag" still happens, and "drop" (sometimes) not, as the fix has changed it. Should I make a new ticket to suggest alternatives? Namely: a) Wait some ms after user starts holding a mouse button (was mentioned in https://phabricator.kde.org/D8564#162784). b) Add a checkbox to Task Manager settings (could default to current behaviour).

I find myself feeling similarly. I think this would be the preferred approach vs another option. |
