Can reproduce. It's a bit tricky, but I can do it if I follow the original Steps To Reproduce. If I hover the cursor near the edge of the resize circle, the circle disappears, but the cursor is still displayed in its "resize" form. If I grab the resize circle by its edge (gotta click it fast, before it disappears), I can start the drag-to-resize operation, but if I wiggle the mouse around, it loses the grip as the resize circle eventually disappears during the resize operation, even though I'm still holding the left mouse button, that is pretty annoying. This feature is normally used only when setting up the desktop for the first time, so it doesn't affect much of everyday use. But since it is done on initial setup, it is perceived by first-timers and could pass a bad first impression about Plasma. I remember I saw it on my first day of use and it surely caused a bad impression for myself. Cannot reproduce anymore in Plasma 6; seems fixed now, at least in 6.2, possibly earlier. |
