Description Patrick Silva 2019-02-25 18:43:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
Under X11, widget explorer becomes semi-transparent when a widget is dragged over it and you can drop the widget under it.
However the same can not be done under Wayland. When you drag a widget over the widget explorer, cursor changes to "not-allowed" shape and it's impossible to drop it under the Widget Explorer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start Wayland session
2. right click on desktop, select "Add widgets..."
3. try to place a widget under the widget explorer

OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor changes to "not-allowed" shape and it's impossible to drop the widget under the Widget Explorer

EXPECTED RESULT
you can drop the widget under the widget explorer

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0
Qt Version: 5.12.1

Can consistently reproduce this with the new widgets explorer.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-04 19:19:26 UTC 
The widget explorer does become semi-transparent now, but you still can't place a widget under it on Wayland.
