Description Patrick Silva 2020-12-12 20:09:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
I'm not sure if kwin is the correct product for this bug. If not, re-assign it please. I can reproduce this bug on both Arch Linux (Plasma 5.20.4) and neon unstable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start Wayland session
2. open Kate and maximize its window
3. open Dolphin
4. drag a text file to an empty area of the files view and do NOT release the mouse button
5. switch back to Kate by pressing alt+tab, keep the mouse button pressed
and do NOT move cursor
6. release the mouse button

OBSERVED RESULT
context menu of Dolphin with "Copy here", "Link here" and "Cancel" options opens.
If cursor is moved before the last step, Kate opens the text file as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kate should open the text file

Are you still holding alt at the time of 6?
