Description David Edmundson 2024-05-31 07:41:01 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
 - enter edit mode
 - drag item from applet to desktop
 - no visual indication of the drag occurs
 - dropping removes the applet from the panel, but it is not visibly anywhere
- widget explorer implies the applet is still alive, but that gets cleaned up after a restart

I can confirm. I also noticed that plasmashell freezes if the panels width/height is too high.

Comment 2 bruno.gonfiotti 2024-05-31 08:03:13 UTC

Ah, I have this bug on plasma 6.0.5.

Refactor drag and drop behaviour of applets from panel to other containments

Right now it's impossible to drag and drop applets from the panel to elsewhere, only within the panel. If you try, the applets will be added to the desktop right next to the panel, and you'll have to start dragging them again to move them around or to another panel. This implements a new mode to drag and drop applets from the panel to other containments.

This MR makes it possible to just drag and drop items outside the panel; when you do so, a "real" drag and drop will start that allows you to move that applet on the desktop or to other panels. You can also put the applet back to the origin panel.
