Description cwo 2024-06-29 19:57:26 UTC 
SUMMARY

It is possible to drag&drop widgets from the desktop to the panel while in Panel Configuration mode without closing that mode. However, if the user tries to do this to a left-edge panel set to custom height, Panel Configuration mode closes as the pointer enters the panel resizing bar. If the user tries to drag to a bottom custom-width panel, the mode does not close, but abandoning the drag&drop operation (moving the pointer back to the original position without dropping the widget on the panel) will close it,


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

New user profile

1. Right-click desktop, Enter Edit Mode, Add widget, Place Analog Clock on the desktop
2. Right-click panel, Show Panel Configuration, move to left screen edge, set height to custom 
3. Drag&Drop Analog Clock to the panel

(Similarly for the bottom panel variant)

OBSERVED RESULT

Panel Configuration mode closes.

EXPECTED RESULT

Panel Configuration mode stays open, as it does if panel Height is set to "Fill height".
