Icon jumping between monitors

SUMMARY
Coming off the heels of fixing this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481254. I noticed that when you drag an icon from one monitor to another. The icon briefly jumps back to its original position. I recall a similar bug a while back when the desktop grid was rewritten. If you moved a window from one desktop to another it would briefly jump back to the original desktop before going to the one you moved it to. Perhaps whatever solution worked there would work here?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple monitors.
2. Create a file on the desktop.
3. Move it from one monitor to another.

OBSERVED RESULT
It jumps back to the previous monitor then appears on the monitor you dragged it to.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should just drop where you dragged it to without making any other trips, no matter how brief, first.

Can reproduce.

Comment 2 TraceyC 2025-08-14 14:42:46 UTC

Can you still reproduce this in Plasma 6.4.4 or later? I'm not able to reproduce with git-master. 
There have been a lot of desktop icon bug-fixes recently. Thanks.

Yes, I am still able to reproduce on plasma 6.4.4 on Arch. The icon still jumps back to the previous screen briefly before moving to the dropped position.
