Description Luke-Jr 2016-09-30 10:30:58 UTC 
I tend to hold the right mouse button until I've chosen a menu item, but this doesn't work on window decoration menus for some reason. It does work fine in other KDE menus...

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2016-10-04 08:01:10 UTC 
works fine on Wayland.

Noticed that right click hold and select works in Dolphin and Kate but doesn't work in right click on desktop in Wayland

Comment 4 kde.org 2021-11-07 11:23:42 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this on Plasma 5.23, X11. Pressing and holding right click on the desktop opens the menu. Moving the mouse up and down moves changes the selection of the menu entry.
If it still doesn't work for you on Plasma 5.23, please provide steps to reproduce the issue.

As reported, this issue is with KWin, not the desktop.

Still an issue with 5.23.1
Comment 7 Zamundaaa 2024-06-07 15:36:29 UTC 
Can't reproduce in Plasma 6
