Description Mufeed Ali 2021-02-17 11:53:40 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using a top panel, it can be very helpful to be able to drag the empty space in the panel to drag the window title bar. It's especially useful when using BorderlessMaximizedWindows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup a top Plasma panel.
2. Use BorderlessMaximizedWindows in KWin.
3. Maximize a window.
4. Drag from the empty space in the top panel.

OBSERVED RESULT
No action.

EXPECTED RESULT
Unmaximize and drag window with cursor on the now visible titlebar.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: master
KDE Frameworks Version: master
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There was some discussion about implementing this in the Active Window Control plasmoid here: https://github.com/kotelnik/plasma-applet-active-window-control/issues/30
The feature is also present in Latte. But Latte also faces this bug on Wayland: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419442 .
