SUMMARY

When trying to drag a message from the message list of one folder into another folder (by moving it over a folder in the folder list), the folder list starts to scroll up to the top, moving the folders under the mouse and scrolling the intended folder out of view.

A workaround to be able to drag and drop messages into the target folder is to collapse all folders in the list, so that it cannot scroll further up.  This only works, if the target folder is visible when the list is fully scrolled up.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Expand some folders in the folder list
2. Open a folder so that its messages are shown in the message list
3. Drag a message from the message list over the folder list

OBSERVED RESULT

The folder list starts scrolling up once the mouse is moved over it.  It will keep moving even when the mouse is still.

EXPECTED RESULT

The folder list does not move on its own.

Under some circumstances, very seldomly, this magic scrolling does not happen.  I was however so far unable to reproduce that.

I have been able to reproduce this bug on the most recent Arch Linux release.

Additional Observations:
* The problem only occurs on the Wayland platform. The X11 platform is not impacted by this bug.
* This problem occurs regardless of input method (trackpad and USB mouse tested).
* My folder list is long enough to not fit on one page.

Can replicate.

Dragging a message into the folder list tree view causes it to scroll to the top of the list if the folder list tree view is scrollable due to size of folder list entries making it impossible to drop a message into any folders not at the top of the list.

This does not happen in a X11 session.

Comment 3 Ferry 2025-03-04 13:27:04 UTC

I confirm this issue also affects Kontact 5.24.5 (23.08.5) With Frameworks 5.115.0, Qt 5.15.13 as found in Kubuntu 24.04 (LTS).

For us this makes the wayland session impossible to use, as we routinely manually archive our e-mails to a local imap server with 1000's of (sub)folders.

This scrolling of the folders list happens in about 50% of the attempts, no clue how to influence this. The only workaround we found is not use drag/drop but cut/paste. But ctrl-alt-x, ctrl-shift-v is so inconvenient we prefer to just fall back to X.

This seems to be fixed for me..

Comment 6 Ferry 2025-05-26 11:50:57 UTC

Well, that is good new - for you :-) Could the fix somehow be backported to Kontact 5.24.5 (23.08.5) With Frameworks 5.115.0, Qt 5.15.13?

After all that is a LTS that now is just demonstrating for a very long time that Kontact on Wayland is working badly.
