Description Philipp Maierhöfer 2024-04-27 12:41:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
In some cases, drag & drop of a file doesn't work. Instead, a selection rectangle appears when a file is clicked and dragged.

This is 100% reproducible on newly created files in Dolphin. I think that it occured to me in other sitations as well, but this is the only case I could reproduce. Tested this on Wayland, but I think X11 is also affected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin. Right click on the main view to open the context menu. Select "Create New -> Text File" and press enter to create the file.
2. Left click and hold the new file and move the mouse.

OBSERVED RESULT
Instead of dragging the file, a selection rectangle opens. You have to release the left button and try again to make it work.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be dragged. No selection rectangle should show (btw. why is this a rectangle in in details view? The horizontal selector from KDE 5 was more convenient).
