Description Michał Dybczak 2021-02-20 11:58:24 UTC

SUMMARY

Previously we could grab images and move to certain places in the browser. If the site has implemented image upload features, the file was up uploaded there. Simple and convenient mechanism. Now it seems not working (from notifications or from dolphin).

I'm not sure which Plasma component is responsible for that. Maybe framework? Please, move it to the proper place. Thank you.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do a screenshot with spectacle, wait for the notification, try to grab the image and move it to forum (Manjaro forum, GitHub issues, etc.)
2. Go to any directory with images, try to grab them and move them to some proper places as forums where the file can be uploaded


OBSERVED RESULT

Dragging and releasing images on proper places on the web doesn't work anymore

EXPECTED RESULT

Dragging and releasing images on proper places on the web should work as before

Wayland or X11 or both?

Is the drag destination for these files a web browser in both cases? If so which one?

Comment 2 Michał Dybczak 2021-02-25 18:30:08 UTC

X11. No idea about the wayland. It's too buggy on the hybrid (intel-nvidia) laptop, so I'm not checking that mess.

Yes, in all cases are browser windows: Manjaro forum, Github, etc. Those worked fine before.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-02-25 18:33:36 UTC

Which browser are you dragging to that fails to accept the drag?

With Plasma updates (I'm on 5.21.2) the problem is gone.

I didn't answer because:

- I didn't notice the answer and the status (I would swear there was no email notification, but I could have missed it, or maybe it landed in SPAM)
- I couldn't find the bug on the list of my bugs, so basically bugzilla is heavily bugged. To be exact: when going Home->Open bugs reported by me, this bug here is not listed there... Why? I wanted to close this report, but I couldn't without access to it.
