Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (4.2.3-6mnb1) OS: Linux Upstream to kde developper from my bug report in mandrivalinux : https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42719 Description of problem: when we right clic on kde taskbar (for example icon area notification or other), a menu is showed, but if we move in same time the cursor mouse, this menu is badly positionned and when we release mouse button, then actual item menu is "validate" (for example exit or close), we don't have good control of this action. normal action : clic is valide ONLY if button is released, not when it PRESSED for action (show menu for example), Actually kde show menu when we press mouse button. it's NEED to change it for a RELEASE button. tested on windows XP : no bug because all actions are On RELEASE button. in reality we have 2 bugs in kde (or other?) : - if mouse move when we clic, menu or item is badly calculated and showed (position is not good) - action clicking is done when buttons are PRESSED. various action need to be validated by RELEASED button, we need to fix theses 2 bugs type for all applications, or check it, in konqueror file browsing i have see too this bug(s). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde 3.5.9 for mdv 2008.1, but see too in kde 4.1 cooker 2009.0 How reproducible: for clicking : systematically for menu : only (in think) whe mouse mouve at same time we press mouse (right), but it's not systematically, it's need to have good lucky and clever Steps to Reproduce: 1.for clicking : PRESS (only) clic (rigth) mouse on taskbar : menu is showed, releasing button validate menu for position of menu bug : move mouse and PRESS clic (rigth) mouse at SAME TIME : menu (with lucky) is badly position showed, and cursor is directly on a item menu, releasing (by error for example) validate actual selected item menu 2. 3. all actions mouse SHOULD be validate/acted only when mouse is RELEASED (PRESSING should have NO action), and menus showed should control a good position to prevent bad position from cursor and prevent problem of little move of cursor mouse (by little hand movment error) this bug can be easier fixed i think. ps : hmm....bug of menu position don't affect klipper apparently for my various tests (actually i can't product it for this application, but only for PRESS button bug). snapshot file are joint for illustrating this bug the button (still) PRESSED (right button for notify icon application in taskbar) We can see my mandriva bug report for more informations (see url on top this report) This bug (2 bugs in reality) affect various and mostly kde (and other) applications, and probably gnome too. In certain case, in konqueror, it's possible i think to delete directory by error by a "bad right clicking/validating menu 'delete directly' without confirmation" too fastly, it's too a possible case of "big" problem (sécurity?).
Created attachment 26806 [details] illustration example of important and problematic bug in konqueror : deleting/involuntary removal, selected, if i release right mouse button, all directory is lost example and more important and problematic bug in kde: konqueror : deleting/involuntary removal, selected, if i release right mouse button, all directory is lost We can see in this example particulare case a very problematic bug for this bug : if i release button just after moved 1 or 2 pixel in konqueror, if option in konqueror are "direct delete without confirmation" is checked and if i release button by error, i lost ALL directory and subdirectory, this action is very fast and can't be see by user . for this case specific, user can ALL LOST (directory(ies) selected) if the clic (press and release) is too fast. This bug is systematically reproductible in this case, just move a little 1 or 2 pixel in same time when we click on right button. Others examples can be found, but this case is really revelator.
cooker 2009.0 : I've noticed the same problem with the right click button, it validate applications in the kde 4.1 menu.
Randomly I accidentally close applications from systemtray due to this bug.
