SUMMARY New install of Kubuntu 19.04. Added the folder view widget to my desktop but could not drop files into the folders shown. Files dropped into the root folder that the widget was showing (such as ~/Documents/Work). Had to open Dophin's settings and click the "Open folders during drag operations" checkbox under Navigation to get it to work. This is a very odd default setting since everybody expects drag and drop to work everywhere. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install new OS 2. Add a Folder View widget to your desktop 3. Drag and drop a file into a folder in the widget 4. File drops into the widget's root folder and not where you want it to drop. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm a bit confused by your report, sorry! How is the Dolphin setting relevant? I thought you were dropping to the Folder View widget?
There are no settings in the folder view widget that effect this behavior. So in search of trying to find a solution I thought that maybe some code is shared between the widget and dolphin. Seems I may be correct that changing how dolphin works fixes the problem in some bit of shared code. Perhaps my initial report is a case of too much information. Feel free to ignore all dolphin parts of this. The ability to drop files into folders in the widget is still broken with the default settings. That's not changed and also why I submitted this bug report. If you need anything else just let me know. --Thanks

New information was added with comment #2; changing status for inspection.
Works for me with the default settings in Plasma 5.17.5 or git master. Can you confirm?
