Description Blazer Silving 2024-10-27 19:29:27 UTC

SUMMARY
Noticed a regression with the desktop bar as of 6.2, windows dragged into the desktop bar pop and glide when dragged to a target desktop. Can reproduce on X11 and Wayland with two linear desktops, recordings attached.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sign into new session (X11/Wayland)
2. Engage Overview (Meta+W) and add a second Virtual Desktop in the Desktop Bar
3. Drag and drop a window to the second desktop using the bar.
4. Observe the window behavior, where it originates in the thumbnail and "glides" offscreen.

OBSERVED RESULT
Windows "glide" offscreen to their target desktop. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Windows should "sink into" or otherwise stay in the target thumbnail, not glide to the actual target itself. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Looks like the work from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/01d7ddff68e9e616bbcfca2bedce0741d57a3500 is the cause, not sure how I didn't notice this in testing earlier this month. The refactored ExpoLayout otherwise seems to behave as expected. 

I'm thinking the fix may lie in:
src/plugins/overview/qml/DesktopBar.qml
src/plugins/private/qml/WindowHeapDelegate.qml

effects/overview: Don't make thumbnails fly off the screen

When dropping a thumbnail on another desktop, don't animate the
position, otherwise we see the window oddly flying off the screen
to go on its new position on the different desktop
