Cannot reproduce. Any chance you can attach a screen recording that shows the issue? Thanks! Created attachment 165827 [details]
Teleport glitch
Here's how to reproduce the bug
Thanks. It's strange, I cannot reproduce the issue. Updated the system info into the one that I currently have. (Same issue still happens) x11 or wayland? Wayland. Created attachment 168411 [details]

I'm able to reproduce the behavior shown in the video on X11 with Solus Plasma and on Plasma with KDE Neon 1. Have a file or folder on the desktop, anywhere. 2. Click the icon near the bottom to drag. 3. Drag the icon with the mouse as far to the top as you can, the cursor will stop at the top of the visible viewport. The top of the icon will be beyond the viewport. 4. Let go of the mouse button. The icon will snap back to where it had been. This seems like it could be intentional behavior to avoid having icons get to a position where the user can't interact with them anymore. I'll defer to the developers to answer that.

It's going to the bottom of the screen, a place where the file/folder never was. snapping back to where it was dragged from*** Created attachment 171583 [details]
Creating folder on the middle of the screen, then doing the issue.
PS: I think that the *nearest possible placement within the grid* is the better solution. It's reasonable to assume that the user was in a hurry and just happened to grab a file/folder by its corner, and dropped it far on top because that way they only need to do horizontal movement, which doesn't require precision if the grid is activated. |
Created attachment 164481 [details] This image shows what i mean by "Top of the grid". Drop there and the file will teleport to the bottom. This issue is simple to reproduce; Just put a file on the very top of your desktop. Instead of remaining on the top of the grid, it teleports to the bottom of the grid.
