Description David Korth 2018-06-30 06:12:41 UTC
When dragging a file icon on the desktop in Folder View, the mouse cursor quickly alternates between the "Forbidden" cursor and the drag cursor. If I release the mouse button while it shows the Forbidden cursor, it ends up doing nothing. If I release the mouse button while it shows the drag cursor, the icon is moved as expected.

Unless I'm being careful, most of the time the cursor is the Forbidden cursor, which basically breaks moving desktop icons.

Not able to reproduce with git master on Neon.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-07-02 06:38:24 UTC
Looks like a Qt bug and affects all places using Qml and drag and drop, e.g. dragging a file from Dolphin to the wallpaper dialog also shows the same erratic changing between accepted and denied cursor
Comment 3 David Korth 2018-07-02 17:50:20 UTC
I'm using Qt 5.11.1. I'll file a bug upstream.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-07-03 17:05:22 UTC
Thanks! Please mention the Qt bug report URL here, and let's see what shakes out there. We can always re-open this if there's anything we need to do on our side.
Comment 5 David Korth 2018-07-03 18:01:59 UTC
Upstream bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69246

Going to try creating a minimal test case, though I don't have too much experience with QML / Qt Quick.

Eike, any chance you could take a look here when you get some breathing room?

I can not reproduce the bug on that example.
But the bug still happens on Plasma 5.14.0 / openSUSE Tumbleweed

This means it's a Plasma bug ?

Unfortunately I've never encountered this problem on any of my systems. Qt 5.12, though.

Just tried again. It doesn't happen with Folder view layout, but it does happen with Desktop Containment.
Comment 15 Eike Hein 2018-10-23 06:14:44 UTC
I'm not sure I understand the bug report then, you may need to clarify for me. The original report talks about "When dragging a file icon on the desktop in Folder View". So you're talking a Folder View widget on top of Desktop Containment? Icons aren't movable in FV widgets. Or do you mean Icon widgets on top of Desktop Containment, and the original report is wrong?

Summary:
- Drag a file from Dolphin -> Desktop (Folder view layout) -> work 100%
- Drag a file from Dolphin -> Desktop (Desktop containment layout) -> too difficult - Video: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395491
- Drag an icon on Desktop (Folder view layout) from one place to another one -> too difficult - Video: [Video2]
Comment 18 Eike Hein 2018-10-23 06:28:05 UTC
Thanks.

I'll try to reproduce the Dolphin-related cases later.

Dragging on FV is easy here, though.
Comment 19 trmdi 2018-11-02 09:30:45 UTC
A new case:
- Add widgets to the Plasma panel

Video3: add a widget to the Plasma panel is so difficult !!!

Possible patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D16643
Comment 22 David Korth 2018-11-03 18:29:15 UTC
Patch D16643 fixes the issue for me for both desktop and panel widgets.

Using KF 5.51, Plasma 5.14.2, and Qt 5.11.2.

Comment 25 Fabian Vogt 2019-02-05 18:56:11 UTC
Git commit 856672f370fb32c7a3c3d1a13d873fb8b767d0e8 by Fabian Vogt, on behalf of Tranter Madi.
Committed on 05/02/2019 at 18:55.
Pushed by fvogt into branch 'master'.

Correct the accept flag of the event object on DragMove

Summary:
  - `m_enabled` or `m_temporaryInhibition` could change while DragMove, so we should place `setAccepted()` on top of the function body. Otherwise, the accept flag of `event` could be wrong in the case `m_enabled` or `m_temporaryInhibition` changes while DragMove.
  - Don't call `setAccepted(false)` wrongly if `event->pos() == m_oldDragMovePo`

Test Plan:
- Drag a file from Dolphin -> Desktop (Desktop containment layout) -> too difficult -> fixed
- Drag an icon on Desktop (Folder view layout) from one place to another one -> too difficult -> fixed
- Add widgets to the Plasma panel -> too difficult -> fixed
- Drag a file from Dolphin -> Desktop (Folder view layout) -> still easy
