Description alex strom 2003-04-30 23:09:01 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.5b)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

When you drg'n drop an atachment to the folder /home/***/documents in the taskbar
AND the atachment is already in the folder the UI freezes -> you have to shutdown the
X-Server and newly logon

How do you drag'n'drop an attachment to a folder in the taskbar? Do you 
drop the attachment over the taskbar entry of a Konqueror window?

I drag the atachment directly from the KMAIL preview to the Documents-Icon
of KDEdesktop. Then there is a dialog opening "hierher verschieben"-
"hierher kopieren" then click "hierher kopieren" an the UI is dead!voila!

Comment 4 Shane Richards 2003-06-07 08:06:52 UTC

Drag and drop usually (14 out of 20 tests) caused X to freeze after the drop action. 
This happes both between seperate instances of konqueror and when dragging 
icons around on the desktop, or between the two. Often acompanied by slight 
flashing, then disappearance of the icon. Both screen and key/mouse input are non 
functional. The only way to recover is through Alt+SysRq+k to kill X (cross-fingers 
and hope X comes back up) or an Alt+SysRq+B to reboot.  
 
Is there any way I can get useful debugging information in this situation?

Alex, can you still reproduce this problem with KDE 3.1?

Shane, your bug report might be related but you should still submit a 
new bug report because this bug report is mainly about KMail. Also you 
forgot to mention which version of KDE you are using.

Closing, not reproducable and no further response from reporter.
