The panel toolbox has two handles that need draging around. Namely 'screen edge' and 'height/width' They look like the other buttons in the toolbox (except for no icon), but they do not behave like buttons. They are in fact handles to be dragged around. This is not immediately obvious and if one happens to have a steady hand it will take quite a while until one notices that they are supposed to be dragged rather than clicked. Reproducible: Always

Yeah, I agree; but this does match 4.x behaviour so it's not an urgent priority to fix. Would love some ideas on how else to solve this. I've flagged the VDG group for comments.
being handles, they have "direct" manipulation for those two parametres. I would like to make them more obvious, but I would consider any "indirect" manipulation solution (like a dialog that says the edge) a regression.
At least we might want to change the cursor displayed on this button? We would need to expose the cursorShape in the PlasmaComponents.Button though.
