SUMMARY *** See the title *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter edit mode on a panel. 2. Drag an applet to the center of the desktop. 3. Leave edit mode. OBSERVED RESULT The applet lands next to the panel. EXPECTED RESULT The applet should follow the cursor. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: Tested 5.23.4 and stable 5.22, happens in both. KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88 Qt Version: 5.15.2
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1750
I can confirm this is fixed and working as intended in current git master, soon to be Plasma 6.2. There was come panel drag-and-drop work done that made this function properly.
