Description Nate Graham 2023-05-10 09:56:45 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

EXPECTED RESULT

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 38
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.240.0
Qt Version: 6.5.0
Kernel Version: 6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: offscreen
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I move the cursor two pixels closer to the panel, it works properly. So a horrible hacky workaround could be to increase the global drag distance.

This is a minor Fitts' Law violation.
