Description pmb 2017-02-25 00:37:11 UTC 
Hello . . .

Just installed Kubuntu 16.04.2 a few days ago. Plasma 5.5.5 installed. Worked well. Thank You.

Added backports PPA as instructed by Kubuntu. Upgraded Plasma to 5.8.5. A lot of dependency issues. Added the suggested files. Plasma works well. Thank You again.

except . . .

When I click the lower left button on a desktop folder icon, the folder preview popup appears as expected. Unfortunately, when I move the mouse pointer into the popup it immediately closes. This did not take place in Plasma 5.5.5.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the lower button top left of a desktop folder in folderview
2. The folder preview popup appears
3. Move the mouse pointer into the popup
4. The popup immediately closes.

Expected Results:  
I expect the folder preview popup to remain open so that I can access the files and folders.

Added Info:
I am using the latest available Plasma from Kubuntu.

Hope this helps.

is the kwin behavior "focus follows mouse" or something like that?

I think this got fixed in 5.8.6. I'll verify later.

This was fixed by e80a4b87cfa98708724942794ca6f051974bb5c0 which is indeed in 5.8.6.
